CRONOS CONTAINERS LIMITED
Cronos Containers Limited (company number 01543912) was a private limited company registered in England and Wales, incorporated on 9 February 1981. It was originally incorporated as Mall Trade Limited, renamed Leasing Partners Limited on 8 August 1983, and adopted its final name, Cronos Containers Limited, on 2 September 1991.
Its registered office was at 4th Floor, Union House, 182-194 Union Street, London, SE1 0LH. Companies House records its principal activities under SIC codes 77342 ("Renting and leasing of freight water transport equipment") and 77390 ("Renting and leasing of other machinery, equipment and tangible goods not elsewhere classified"), placing the company in the marine and freight container leasing sector.
The company filed full accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 on 11 April 2025, and its last confirmation statement was made up to 29 September 2025. On 23 March 2026 the company filed an application (DS01) to be struck off the register. Companies House published a first Gazette notice for voluntary strike-off on 31 March 2026, and the strike-off was finalised with a final Gazette notice on 16 June 2026, at which point Cronos Containers Limited was dissolved. It was not listed on any stock exchange and traded as a private limited company throughout its existence.

Shareholders of Cronos Containers Limited
Companies House’s freely accessible filings do not display a current, named shareholder register for Cronos Containers Limited. The company’s most recent statement of capital, filed 17 August 2023 alongside a resolution to reduce issued share capital and a directors’ solvency statement, recorded total issued share capital of GBP 100 following that reduction. Confirmation statements filed after that date (29 September 2024 and 29 September 2025) were both filed "with no updates," indicating no further change to the share capital on record. A specific named holder of record could not be independently confirmed from publicly accessible, non-filing pages; earlier internally-held data referencing a corporate shareholder ("Cronos Ltd") predates the August 2023 capital reduction and could not be verified as still current, so it is not presented here as confirmed.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control (PSC) register lists three current PSCs for Cronos Containers Limited: Mr Mark John Charles Bishop (notified 11 October 2018), Mr David Paul Misseldine (notified 30 September 2016) and Mr William Dominic Heymanson Buckwell (notified 30 September 2016). Each is recorded solely under the general nature-of-control statement "has significant influence or control," without an accompanying shareholding or voting-rights percentage band. Because no percentage is disclosed for any of the three, no calculated Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) percentage can be stated. Two further PSCs have ceased: Mr Rohit Saxena (notified 30 September 2016, ceased 10 October 2024) and Mr Nigel Peter Andrew Lawton (notified 30 September 2016, ceased 16 August 2018).
Data availability
Shareholder and UBO information for this company is best described as partial: the PSC register discloses natural persons with significant control but no ownership percentage, and the underlying shareholder register (share classes and holdings) is not visible on standard Companies House web pages without opening filed documents directly. Information reflects the company’s record as of dissolution on 16 June 2026.

Directors and officers of Cronos Containers Limited
At the time of its dissolution, Companies House recorded two active officers for Cronos Containers Limited: David Paul Misseldine, Director, appointed 6 April 2012, and William Dominic Heymanson Buckwell, who held two roles — Director and Company Secretary — both appointed 7 May 2015. Both are recorded with British nationality and England as country of residence, and both used the company’s registered office address (182-194 Union Street, London, SE1 0LH / 4th Floor, Union House, same street) as their correspondence address. Alongside these, Companies House lists 23 former officers who resigned between 1993 and 2021, reflecting a long-standing board that turned over substantially before the company’s voluntary strike-off. The information reflects the officer register as it stood before dissolution; Companies House does not automatically mark officers of a dissolved company as resigned, so these records are the last positions of record rather than confirmation of ongoing appointment.
Data availability
Officer information for UK-registered companies is generally complete for both current and historical appointments. Companies House does not disclose occupation separately from role for this record, and, as with all UK officer filings, no field records a director’s country of residence as distinct from correspondence address beyond what is stated above.

Group Structure
Group structure of Cronos Containers Limited
No verified parent company, subsidiary or sister-company relationship for Cronos Containers Limited was identified through Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register or filing history. The PSC register lists only natural persons as holders of significant control, with no corporate PSC on file, and no filing (such as a group accounts note or a PSC filing naming a corporate controller) was located confirming a link to any other "Cronos"-branded entity, including overseas container-leasing groups that use similar branding. Shared use of the "Cronos" name is not, by itself, evidence of a corporate ownership relationship, and none is presented here as verified.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this company is best classified as not found: no verified parent or subsidiary relationship is on file. This should not be read as proof that the company was independent of any wider group — only that no such relationship could be confirmed from the available Companies House filings.
