Loading the group structure…
Built from the corporate people with significant control records matched to UK companies (Companies House, Open Government Licence v3.0; ownership graph of 19 September 2026). Control is shown as the nature of control the controller declared; the group count includes only active majority holdings (more than 50%), so holdings of 25-50% are drawn but not counted. Overseas parents that are not on the UK register appear only when a company names them.
People with significant control
iNo people or companies with significant control are listed. Companies House holds a statement about this (dated 20 November 2016), usually that the company has not identified any or has none to report.Source: Companies House people with significant control data. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
