GOODWIN PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 00305907, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 11 October 1935 and lists its registered address as STOKE-ON-TRENT, United Kingdom. 2 shareholders are on record for GOODWIN PLC, 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 25 September 2026.

The largest of these is John Hancock Fds II-International Small Company Fund, holding 64.2% — a majority holding — followed by DFA International Core Equity Portfolio at 35.8%.

Directors and officers of GOODWIN PLC

The Director of GOODWIN PLC currently on record is Matthew Goodwin; nine of the 21 officer records shown for GOODWIN PLC are current appointments, filed with Companies House. The remaining 12 records shown (John Goodwin, Harold Horton and 9 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at GOODWIN 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.

Data availability

The register reports 22 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 21 most relevant records are shown here.

Group Structure

Group structure of GOODWIN PLC

GOODWIN PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 22 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.

  • HOBEN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • EASAT RADAR SYSTEMS LTD (United Kingdom)
  • SOLUFORM LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • Gudewen (shanghai) Valve Co., Ltd. (China)
  • GOODWIN REFRACTORY SERVICES HOLDINGS LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • DUPRE MINERALS LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • SPECIALIST REFRACTORY SERVICES LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • GOODWIN PUMPS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED (India)
  • DUVELCO LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • GOODWIN ENGINEERING TRAINING COMPANY LIMITED (United Kingdom)

Data availability

Those 22 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, China, India, Australia, Germany 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. Three of the 22 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
