DRIFFORD LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 05881128, and its current status with Companies House is inactive. The company was incorporated on 19 July 2006 and lists its registered address as DRIFFIELD, United Kingdom. 3 shareholders are on record for DRIFFORD 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 5 October 2026.

Shareholders

3

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

The largest of these is DRIFFORD GROUP LTD, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by DRIFFORD GROUP LTD at 0%; 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.

Officers

5

Four of the 5 officer records shown for DRIFFORD LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Anthony Wood (appointed 2006-11-24), David Witt (appointed 2006-11-24) and Colin Wafer (appointed 2021-12-07) all serve as Director; Christopher Wilde (appointed 2006-11-24) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 1 record shown (Kieron Traynor) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.

The register reports 10 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at DRIFFORD LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

DRIFFORD LIMITED sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, DEWHIRST HOLDCO LIMITED, registered in United Kingdom. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to DEWHIRST HOLDCO LIMITED is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by DRIFFORD LIMITED's own shareholder record. 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 1 subsidiary spans United Kingdom jurisdiction, 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 1 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
