FLAMINGO HORTICULTURE INVESTMENTS LIMITED
Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales under company number 08275291. It was incorporated on 31 October 2012 as Finlays Horticulture Investments Limited and adopted its present name on 22 January 2016. Its registered office is Flamingo House, Unit D, Cockerell Close, Stevenage, Hertfordshire SG1 2NB, and its Companies House status was Active when the register was retrieved on 29 September 2026.
The register lists horticultural SIC codes for the company – 46220, wholesale of flowers and plants, and 46310, wholesale of fruit and vegetables – but Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited does not itself trade in flowers or produce. The directors’ report in its accounts for the 53-week period ended 3 January 2026 states that its principal activity is that of a holding company for a group of companies engaged in the supply and distribution of horticultural produce, and that it will continue to act in that capacity. The growing, packing and distribution work sits in the companies it holds; the SIC codes describe those activities rather than this entity’s own.
The company’s own accounts carry no turnover line. For the 53 weeks to 3 January 2026 it reported administrative expenses of £1.732m and an operating loss of the same amount, income from fixed-asset investments of £1.726m, a pre-tax loss of £4,000 and, after a tax credit of £1.354m, a profit for the period of £1.350m (52 weeks to 28 December 2024: profit £1.235m). Net assets stood at £96.641m, of which £94.455m was fixed-asset investments. Staff costs were nil and the average monthly number of employees was two, both of them directors; the company recharged £557,000 of salaries to a fellow trading company. The financial statements are unaudited: the company took the section 479A exemption, which is supported by a parent guarantee, so no auditor’s opinion on this entity exists on the public record.
Nine charges have been registered against Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited, seven of which remain outstanding; the four most recent were created on 26 April 2024 in favour of Credit Suisse AG, London Branch as security agent. The website recorded on this profile, flamingo.net, is the Flamingo business’s brand site rather than a site for this legal entity – it carries no registration number, although its privacy notice names “Flamingo Horticulture Investments (including all subsidiaries)” as data controller.

Shareholders of Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited
One shareholder is disclosed. Flamingo Horticulture Ltd, registered in England and Wales under company number 09709586, is recorded on the Companies House PSC register of Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited as an active registrable legal entity, notified on 6 April 2016, under the nature of control “ownership of shares – 75% or more”. The UK register publishes bands rather than exact percentages, so no filing retrieved states a precise figure. The supporting data on this profile shows a single holding of 50,287,105 ordinary shares of £1.00, which matches the called-up share capital of £50,287,105 in the company’s filed accounts at 3 January 2026 exactly; that is consistent with one holder of the entire issued capital in a single share class. The shareholder information is dated 28 September 2026 for the stored record and 6 April 2016 for the register entry, and the latest confirmation statement, made on 17 February 2026, was filed “with no updates”.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
The PSC registers of the five companies above Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited form a complete, dated chain: 08275291 is controlled by Flamingo Horticulture Ltd (09709586); that company by Flamingo Group Midco Ltd (09800815); that by Flamingo Group International Ltd (09772068); that by Zara UK Topco Ltd (09709547), each entry notified on 6 April 2016 under “ownership of shares – 75% or more”; and Zara UK Topco Ltd by Zara UK Holdco Ltd (11071360), notified on 2 February 2018.
At the top of the UK chain, Zara UK Holdco Limited’s register names two active persons with significant control, both notified on 20 November 2017: Mr Rodger Krouse (born November 1961) and Mr Marc Leder (born January 1962). Companies House records the nationality of each as American and the place of residence as the United States. Their registered nature of control is “has significant influence or control over the trustees of a trust” – a control limb, not a shareholding limb – so the register attaches no ownership percentage to either man and no effective ownership percentage can be calculated through the chain. Note 22 to the company’s accounts for the period ended 3 January 2026 states that the ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party is a private equity investment fund advised by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc., and the consolidated annual report filed alongside them records that the group was purchased by an affiliate of Sun Capital in November 2015. The fund itself is not named in any filing retrieved.
The same two individuals appear on this company’s own PSC register as ceased entries, each notified on 6 April 2016 and ceased on 6 April 2016 under the same trust limb.
Data availability
Full for the direct holder and the UK control chain: the PSC register identifies every corporate controller from this company up to Zara UK Holdco Limited and then two named natural persons, all with notification dates. The limitation is quantitative rather than qualitative – the UK register publishes control bands, the individuals are registered under a trust-influence limb that carries no percentage at all, and the private equity fund described in the accounts as ultimate controlling party is not named in any public filing found, so no effective beneficial ownership percentage is published here.

Directors and officers of Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited
Companies House records 19 officer appointments for Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited, of which 16 have ended. Three directors are shown as active at the retrieval date of 29 September 2026: Peter Charles Michael Doona, appointed 1 March 2026; David Zeri James, appointed 1 October 2021; and Olivia Su Streatfeild, appointed 1 January 2024. All three hold the single legal role of Director; the register records the nationality of each as British and the place of residence as England, and Companies House shows identity verification as complete for all three. Olivia Su Streatfeild appears twice on the register: an earlier appointment ran from 12 March 2020 to 31 January 2021, and the current appointment is a separate, later one.
The company has had no company secretary since James Finlay Limited – a corporate officer registered in Scotland under number SC7139 – resigned on 23 November 2015, the date on which four officers ceased together. The directors’ report in the accounts for the 53-week period ended 3 January 2026 names D Z James, O Streatfeild and S Nuttall (resigned 24 April 2025) as those who served during that period, and records P C M Doona’s appointment on 1 March 2026 after the period end; he signed those accounts on 14 August 2026.
Recent officer changes
- Appointment of Peter Charles Michael Doona as a director, effective 1 March 2026 (form AP01 filed 3 March 2026).
- Termination of the appointment of Steven John Nuttall as a director, effective 24 April 2025 (form TM01 filed 29 April 2025).
- Appointment of Olivia Su Streatfeild as a director, effective 1 January 2024 (form AP01 filed 3 January 2024), following the termination of Peter Matthew Mason on 31 December 2023.
Data availability
Full for this jurisdiction: Companies House publishes role, appointment and resignation dates, month and year of birth, nationality and place of residence for UK directors, and all of those fields are populated here. One defect is worth recording in the baseline data on this profile: the stored officer record holds 18 of the 19 appointments and carries Olivia Su Streatfeild only under her 2020–2021 appointment, marked resigned, omitting her current directorship entirely – so the stored data shows two active directors where the register shows three. Addresses shown against officers are service addresses, not home addresses.

Recent structural changes
- Flamingo Produce Investments Limited (17102412) was incorporated on 19 March 2026 with Flamingo Group International Limited as its person with significant control. That entry ceased on 3 June 2026 and Flamingo Horticulture Investments Limited was notified in its place on the same date, holding 75% or more of shares and voting rights with the right to appoint or remove directors – so the company gained a new direct UK subsidiary after its last reporting date.
- Four dormant UK subsidiaries were dissolved in January 2026, as recorded in note 12 and confirmed on the register: Flamingo Plants Ltd, Flamingo Plants Group Ltd and Flamingo Castlegate 363 Ltd on 6 January 2026, and Flamingo Plants Properties Ltd on 20 January 2026.
- Security over the company was refinanced on 26 April 2024, when four charges were created in favour of Credit Suisse AG, London Branch as security agent; seven of the nine charges ever registered remain outstanding.
Data availability
Partial. The upward chain is fully verified – every step from this company to Zara UK Holdco Limited is evidenced by a dated PSC filing, and the accounts’ controlling-party note corroborates it – and the UK subsidiaries were each matched to a Companies House record by name and registered office. The downward chain is not fully identifiable: the accounts give registered addresses but no registration numbers for the Kenyan, South African, Tanzanian, Dutch and German subsidiaries, and Kenya’s eCitizen/BRS company register could not be reached from this environment while the document naming a Kenyan company’s directors and shareholders (a CR12) is a paid extract, so Kenyan registration numbers generally cannot be obtained from a free source. A Kenya Gazette search through gazettes.africa did run – a control query returned 5,635 documents – but returned no filing establishing a registration number for either Kenyan subsidiary, so that is a genuine limit rather than a failed lookup.
Two points on the baseline data on this profile. The stored corporate tree is rooted on Sun Capital Partners, Inc. and presents roughly 35 unrelated Sun Capital portfolio companies – among them Coveris Flexibles France, Pace American Enterprises, Drivesol Worldwide and Unico – as though they were part of this company’s group; they share an investment adviser, not a corporate parent, and none appears in any Flamingo filing. The tree’s Flamingo chain itself is accurate, but it omits Flamingo Horticulture South Africa (Pty) Limited and all six indirect subsidiaries, and it places Flamingo Produce Investments Limited under Flamingo Group International Limited, which was correct only between 19 March and 3 June 2026. Separately, the consolidated annual report filed with these accounts records that the group exited and sold its South African farming operations in 2021, while note 12 of this company’s own accounts still lists Flamingo Horticulture South Africa (Pty) Limited as a 100%-held direct subsidiary at 3 January 2026; both statements are taken from the same filing and are reproduced here without reconciliation.
