DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00192571, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 19 September 1923 and lists its registered address as COLNBROOK, United Kingdom. 3 shareholders are on record for DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED, 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 28 October 2026.

Shareholders

3

Three shareholders are currently on record for DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is DEUTSCHE POST AG, holding 74.7% — a majority holding — followed by DEUTSCHE POST AG at 24.9%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Management authority at DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

Group Structure

DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, Deutsche Post AG, registered in Germany. 5 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED is Deutsche Post AG, holding 100% as filed in DHL DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS (UK) LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. 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.

Those 5 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Ireland 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 5 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
