BIORELIANCE LTD. is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under SC122851, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 9 February 1990 and lists its registered address as Aberdeen, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for BIORELIANCE LTD., 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 6 October 2026.

Shareholders

1

One shareholder is currently on record for BIORELIANCE LTD., held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is BIORELIANCE U.K. ACQUISITION LIMITED, holding 100% — a majority holding.

Because the 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

5

Three of the 5 officer records shown for BIORELIANCE LTD. are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Alison Massey (appointed 2023-03-01) and Alison Armstrong (appointed 2024-03-31) both serve as Director; A G Secretarial Limited (appointed 2016-05-01) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (Archibald Cullen and David McClelland) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 34 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at BIORELIANCE LTD. 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

BIORELIANCE LTD. sits 4 levels below its ultimate parent, MERCK KG auf Aktien, registered in Germany. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. The full chain up to MERCK KG auf Aktien is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by BIORELIANCE LTD.'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 1 subsidiary spans United Kingdom, India 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.
