ASHTEAD HOLDINGS LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 04895881, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 11 September 2003 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 2 shareholders are on record for ASHTEAD HOLDINGS 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 9 October 2026.

Shareholders

2

Two shareholders are currently on record for ASHTEAD HOLDINGS LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is ASHTEAD GROUP PLC, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by ASHTEAD GROUP PLC at 0%.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers

4

Two of the 4 officer records shown for ASHTEAD HOLDINGS LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Brendan Horgan (appointed 2019-05-01) serves as Director; Alan Porter (appointed 2024-05-13) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (Michael Pratt and Barbara Clark) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 4 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at ASHTEAD HOLDINGS 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.

Group Structure

ASHTEAD HOLDINGS LIMITED sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, Sunbelt Rentals Holdings, Inc., registered in United States. 6 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 3 jurisdictions. The full chain up to Sunbelt Rentals Holdings, Inc. is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by ASHTEAD HOLDINGS LIMITED's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 6 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Canada, United States jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Two of the 6 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
