Directors and officers of BRITVIC LIMITED
Companies House shows five individuals with active officer appointments for BRITVIC LIMITED: five directors, one of whom, Jeremy Robert Brown, also serves as Company Secretary.

Data availability
Classification: Full. Companies House publishes current director and secretary appointment dates together with nationality and country of residence for BRITVIC LIMITED’s officers as separate fields; for example, Anna Cecilia Gunnarsson Lundgren is recorded with Swedish nationality and a Denmark country of residence, illustrating that nationality and residence are independently reported rather than inferred from each other. Occupation, as distinct from legal role, is not separately published for these appointments, and the correspondence address on file (Breakspear Park, Breakspear Way, Hemel Hempstead) is a service address only, not a residential address. No corporate officers are currently recorded for the company.
