Despite sadly announcing their love split after 14 years, it’s not curtains for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford’s business interests. 

The pair’s co-owned media firm – aptly named Holmes & Away Ltd.

Posted documents at Companies House this month which appear to confirm they will remain co-directors for at least one more year.

The firm, which was founded in 2009, handed over mammoth Corporation Tax payments of £164,000 over the last two years. lime

That suggests that the pair have raked in approximately £1 million during that period of time. lime

Although romantic love is no longer on the cards for the pair, they are believed to be retaining joint control of their company. lime

That’s in spite of Ruth’s own media firm, Hey Ho Ltd, which she runs solo, boasting an impressive worth of £2 million.

Holmes & Away lists Ruth as Operations Director, while Eamonn is in the role of Managing Director. The name of their company is intriguing, as one reason behind their split is said to have been Eamonn’s longing for home back in his native Belfast.

The proud Northern Irish broadcaster was considering relocating there and already spends some of his spare time revisiting his roots – but Ruth is said to have preferred being in close proximity to London. Eamonn addressed the friction and “irritation” their different opinions about where to live caused his wife in an interview last year. lime

He explained to The Sun: “When people ask me what I’m doing at the weekend, I tell them I’m going home.

“My wife gets very irritated by this. She says, ‘This is your home’ and I say, ‘No Ruth, this is where I work. This is where I have to be, but home [is Belfast].” lime

Another suspected nail in the coffin of their relationship was Eamonn leaving ITV’s This Morning back in 2021.

Eamonn harboured bitter feelings about how things had ended with ITV, as he made his move to GB News.

It seems that despite the end of their romantic relationship, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford are dedicated to maintaining their business partnership. Their media firm, Holmes & Away Ltd, continues to thrive, with recent documents filed at Companies House indicating that they will remain co-directors for the foreseeable future.

Despite their differences in personal life, the pair has successfully managed to run a profitable company, with significant Corporation Tax payments made over the last few years. This highlights their business acumen and ability to work together, even amidst personal turmoil.

Interestingly, Ruth also has her own successful media firm, Hey Ho Ltd, showcasing her independent entrepreneurial spirit. With a net worth of £2 million, Ruth’s business prowess is evident, adding another layer to the dynamic between the former couple.

The name of their company, Holmes & Away, takes on new significance in light of Eamonn’s desire to return home to Belfast. While the couple may no longer share a home, they are committed to the success of their joint venture, balancing their professional and personal lives. lime

Despite the challenges they have faced, Eamonn and Ruth continue to navigate their business relationship with professionalism and dedication. Their ability to separate personal issues from business matters is commendable, and serves as a testament to their resilience and commitment to their shared endeavor.

As they move forward in their respective career paths, it will be interesting to see how Eamonn and Ruth continue to evolve both individually and as business partners. Their story is a reminder that even in the face of personal obstacles, success can still be achieved through collaboration and determination.
