BP OIL UK LIMITED
BP Oil UK Limited is a private company limited by shares registered in England and Wales under company number 00446915. Companies House records its incorporation on 20 December 1947 and its status as Active, with the latest confirmation statement made up to 1 June 2026. Its registered office is Chertsey Road, Sunbury on Thames, Middlesex TW16 7BP. The register also records one previous company name, B P OIL LIMITED, held until 1 February 1989.
BP Oil UK Limited is a separate registered company from BP p.l.c. (company number 00102498), the public company that publishes bp’s consolidated results. Every figure below is BP Oil UK Limited’s own statutory figure, taken from the accounts it files at Companies House, and is not a consolidated group figure.
The directors describe the business, in the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, as engaged in the production and selling of petroleum products, adding that the company “is primarily a fuel retailer and earns its revenue from customers at point of sale on the Company’s retail sites”. The same accounts state that its leased assets are mainly retail service stations, oil depots and storage tanks, with a weighted average remaining lease term of around 20 years, and that as a fossil fuel supplier the company falls under the UK Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, which requires a proportion of the fuel it supplies to be replaced with biofuel. The activity recorded against the registration at Companies House, SIC code 19201 “mineral oil refining”, does not match that description.
For the year ended 31 December 2024 BP Oil UK Limited reported turnover of £6,041 million, down 7% from £6,489 million in 2023; operating profit of £60 million (2023: £19 million); profit for the year after taxation of £47 million (2023: £37 million); and total equity of £503 million at 31 December 2024 (2023: £663 million). Employee costs were £81 million and the average monthly number of employees during 2024 was 516 (2023: 454). Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 were not on the register when this profile was compiled and are next due on 30 September 2026.
BP Oil UK Limited has no securities admitted to trading and no ticker symbol. The website stored against this record, bpplus.com, is bp’s fuel-card brand site rather than a corporate page for company number 00446915.

Shareholders of BP Oil UK Limited
Ownership of BP Oil UK Limited is fully disclosed and concentrated in a single holder. The company’s issued share capital consists of 350,000,000 ordinary shares of £1 each and 300 non-cumulative non-redeemable preference shares of £1 each, as stated in note 19 of the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024. The two shareholder records held for this company both name BP International Limited (registered in England and Wales, company number 00542515), and the share quantities in them — 350,000,000 ordinary and 300 preference — reconcile exactly with that note. BP International Limited therefore holds 100% of each class of issued share capital, and the directors’ report for 2024 describes BP Oil UK Limited as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The register of persons with significant control shows one active entry, again BP International Limited, notified on 6 April 2016, on three grounds: ownership of 75% or more of the shares, 75% or more of the voting rights, and the right to appoint or remove directors. No cessation date is recorded, and the confirmation statement made up to 1 June 2026 was filed with no updates.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is identified as a beneficial owner of BP Oil UK Limited on any register consulted. The ownership chain runs from BP Oil UK Limited to BP International Limited (00542515) and from there to BP p.l.c. (00102498), which is the sole active person with significant control recorded against BP International Limited, notified on 6 April 2016 on the same three grounds. BP p.l.c. is a public limited company and the chain terminates there rather than at an individual.
No effective ownership percentage is calculated here. BP International Limited’s own shareholding in BP Oil UK Limited is precisely known at 100%, but BP p.l.c.’s interest in BP International Limited is published only as a band — “75% or more” — so the chain cannot be multiplied to an exact figure.
Data availability
Availability is Full. The United Kingdom publishes both the issued share capital with holders, through the annual confirmation statement, and a register of persons with significant control, and both were retrievable for this company; the share register figures were independently confirmed against the company’s filed statutory accounts. One limitation should be noted: the PSC register discloses control in bands rather than exact percentages, so intermediate holdings higher in the chain cannot be stated to the decimal. The percentage values carried in the baseline shareholder records for this company (99.99991% and 0.0000857%) express each line’s share of the combined count of all shares in issue across the two classes; they are not each holder’s share of a class, and reading the second line as a fractional stake by a different party would be wrong — both lines belong to the same shareholder.

Directors and officers of BP Oil UK Limited
The Companies House register for BP Oil UK Limited lists 68 officer appointments in total, of which six are current and 62 are recorded as resigned or terminated — a long history consistent with a company incorporated in 1947. The six current officers are four directors and two corporate company secretaries. The directors are Louise Anne Kingham (appointed 17 December 2021), Joanne Hayward (1 June 2024), Brendan John Colyn (14 July 2025) and Sarah Michelle Lally (1 September 2025); the same four are named as the board in the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, filed on 30 September 2025. The two secretaries are legal entities rather than individuals: Sunbury Secretaries Limited (company number 07158629, appointed 1 July 2010) and BP Secretaries Limited (company number 15329325, appointed 27 October 2025), both registered in England and Wales. The register’s own nationality field records Brendan John Colyn as South African and the other three directors as British, and gives England as the country of residence for all four.
Recent officer changes
- 27 October 2025 — BP Secretaries Limited (15329325) appointed as company secretary; form AP04 filed at Companies House on 27 October 2025. Sunbury Secretaries Limited remains recorded as a serving secretary, so the company currently has two.
- 1 September 2025 — Sarah Michelle Lally appointed as a director; form AP01 filed 3 September 2025.
- 20 August 2025 — Saskia Alexandra Spence’s appointment as a director terminated; form TM01 filed 20 August 2025.
Two further changes in the same period are recorded in the directors’ report for 2024: Brendan John Colyn was appointed on 14 July 2025 and William George Warren Harland resigned on 1 July 2025.
Data availability
Availability is Full. Companies House publishes current and former officers with appointment and termination dates, role, nationality and country of residence, and the entries above take nationality from that register field rather than from any inference; occupation is not shown for these directors, so it is not reported. Month and year of birth are published for natural persons and are deliberately omitted here. Two defects in the baseline data for this page should be noted: the stored officer file holds 67 rows against 68 appointments on the register, and it carries no nationality field at all — its country value is the country of the service address at Chertsey Road, Sunbury on Thames, which is the company’s own registered office and indicates neither nationality nor residence.

Group Structure
Group structure of BP Oil UK Limited
BP Oil UK Limited is not an independent company and it is not the top of its group. Note 23 of its audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 states that its immediate parent undertaking is BP International Limited and its ultimate controlling parent undertaking is BP p.l.c., both registered in England and Wales, and that BP p.l.c. is the only entity consolidating these financial statements. Both links are independently corroborated by the Companies House register of persons with significant control. BP Oil UK Limited is itself an intermediate holding company: note 12 of the same accounts lists eight subsidiary undertakings and four associated undertakings, with holdings ranging from 22.2% to 100%. Every entity in that schedule is registered in the United Kingdom, and the carrying value of its investments was £406 million at 31 December 2024. The relationships below are stated as at 31 December 2024, with registry status checked on 25 September 2026.

Recent structural changes
- October 2024 — the directors approved the liquidation of BP Oil Llandarcy Refinery Limited, recorded as a principal decision of the year in the strategic report for 2024.
- October 2024 — the directors approved the liquidation of BP Oil Logistics UK Limited, recorded in the same section.
- 9 March 2026 — both companies were dissolved on the Companies House register, completing the two liquidations. BP Oil UK Limited’s list of subsidiary undertakings is smaller by two entities than the schedule published in its 2024 accounts.
Data availability
Availability is Full for this company: the United Kingdom publishes a PSC register and requires large companies to schedule their subsidiary and associated undertakings with percentages in their filed accounts, and both were retrieved and cross-checked here. Two caveats apply. The percentages above are those reported at 31 December 2024 and a more recent schedule will not be available until the accounts for 2025 are filed, which are due by 30 September 2026. Separately, the stored corporate-linkage tree for this record — 1,103 nodes rooted at BP p.l.c., with BP Oil UK Limited at the second level below BP International Limited — attaches Castrol BP Petco Limited Liability Company (Vietnam, 0300695803) directly beneath BP Oil UK Limited; no Vietnamese entity appears anywhere in the subsidiary or associate schedules of the filed 2024 accounts, so that relationship is unverified and has been left out of the table above. The same tree omits five of the eight subsidiary undertakings named in the accounts and all four associates.
