U-POL LIMITED

Private limited company (Ltd.) Active

in

U-POL LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00464919, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 23 February 1949 and lists its registered address as Wellingborough, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for U-POL LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Directors and officers of U-POL LIMITED

Two of the 24 officer records shown for U-POL LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Michael Pentecost (appointed 2023-03-23) and Laura Youens (appointed 2025-03-28) both serve as Director. The remaining 22 records shown (Brian Lucy, Michael O'Malley and 17 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at U-POL LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
