Group

No further corporate or individual controller is recorded above Legal & General Group PLC on the PSC register - it appears to be the top of its group.

283 other companies in this group

Showing the first 50.

Ownership paths are calculated from the active Companies House persons-with-significant-control filings that show a majority (more than 50% of shares or voting rights, or the right to appoint or remove a majority of the directors). Each step shows the filed nature of control and dates. Holdings of 25-50% are significant influence or control, not majority control, and are not used to build a group.
