Two of the 4 officer records shown for EUROPEAN FLAVOURS & FRAGRANCES PLC are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Spencer Kersey (appointed 2014-07-01) serves as Director; Jason Blackman (appointed 2014-07-01) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (Clive Kersey and Gary Kersey) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

Management authority at EUROPEAN FLAVOURS & FRAGRANCES PLC 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

EUROPEAN FLAVOURS & FRAGRANCES PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 4 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 5 jurisdictions. 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 4 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, India, Singapore, Spain, Poland 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.
