Group
More than one holder is recorded with a majority (Emma Louise Wardall (appoints directors); Alice Louise Hardaker (appoints directors); Elinor Prizeman (appoints directors) and 1 more), so no single ultimate controller is stated.
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.
