CARGILL PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 01387437, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 6 September 1978 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for CARGILL 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 25 September 2026.

Directors and officers of CARGILL PLC

The Director of CARGILL PLC currently on record is Melanie Pollard; six of the 36 officer records shown for CARGILL PLC are current appointments, filed with Companies House. The remaining 30 records shown (William Veazey, Earl Of Carrick and 23 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

Group Structure

Group structure of CARGILL PLC

CARGILL PLC sits 5 levels below its ultimate parent, Cargill, Incorporated, registered in United States. 7 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 4 jurisdictions. Immediately above CARGILL PLC is CARGILL UK HOLDINGS LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in CARGILL PLC's own shareholder record with Companies House. Cargill, Incorporated sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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.

  • CARGILL PROTEIN POLAND SP Z O O (Poland)
  • CARGIL WEST AFRICA S.A (Ivory Coast)

Data availability

Those 7 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Poland, Ivory Coast, Turkey 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. One of the 7 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
