HAMMERSON PLC
HAMMERSON PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 00360632, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 17 April 1940 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 5 shareholders are on record for HAMMERSON 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 18 September 2026.

Directors and officers of HAMMERSON PLC
The Director of HAMMERSON PLC currently on record is Carol Welch; nine of the 60 officer records shown for HAMMERSON PLC are current appointments, filed with Companies House. The remaining 51 records shown (Alexander Bell, George Gwilt and 48 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at HAMMERSON 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
Those 14 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, France, 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. Four of the 14 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
