Ultimate beneficial ownership
BERNARD MATTHEWS FOODS LIMITED’s sole corporate shareholder, Boparan Manufacturing Group Limited, is itself controlled, indirectly, by Amber Rei Holdings Limited (company number 07191982), which Companies House records as holding 75% or more of Boparan Manufacturing Group Limited’s shares and voting rights since 13 September 2016. Amber Rei Holdings Limited is in turn controlled by Boparan Private Office Limited (company number 13499409), recorded as holding 75% or more of Amber Rei Holdings Limited since 3 January 2022. Boparan Private Office Limited’s own persons-with-significant-control register names two individuals, Mr Ranjit Singh Boparan and Mrs Baljinder Kaur Boparan, each recorded since 7 July 2021 as holding more than 25% but not more than 50% of that company’s shares and voting rights, with the right to appoint or remove directors. Because UK persons-with-significant-control filings disclose ownership only in percentage bands rather than exact figures at each link in this chain, a precise combined effective percentage in BERNARD MATTHEWS FOODS LIMITED cannot be calculated; Mr Ranjit Singh Boparan and Mrs Baljinder Kaur Boparan are identified here as the individuals with significant control at the head of the verified ownership chain, rather than as holders of a calculated effective percentage.

The wider ownership chain up to Boparan Private Office Limited and its individual controllers is also disclosed at Companies House, but only as percentage bands rather than exact holdings at each link.
