AUTOTRADER LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 03909628, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 19 January 2000 and lists its registered address as Manchester, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for AUTOTRADER 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 2 October 2026.

Officers

5

Three of the 5 officer records shown for AUTOTRADER LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Nathan Coe (appointed 2017-09-21) and James Warner (appointed 2020-01-01) both serve as Director; Claire Baty (appointed 2016-11-01) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 1 record shown (Catherine Faiers) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.

The register reports 37 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at AUTOTRADER 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

AUTOTRADER LIMITED sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, AUTOTRADER GROUP PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 4 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above AUTOTRADER LIMITED is AUTOTRADER HOLDING LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in AUTOTRADER LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. AUTOTRADER GROUP PLC sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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 4 subsidiaries span United Kingdom jurisdiction, 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. One of the 4 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
