BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 01984336, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 30 January 1986 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 5 shareholders are on record for BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC, 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 22 September 2026.

Shareholders of BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC

The largest of these is DFA International Core Equity Portfolio, holding 13.9% — the largest recorded stake — followed by DFA International Vector Equity Port at 4.1%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
