INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS SERVICES LIMITED

Companies House’s persons with significant control (PSC) register records one active PSC for International Distributions Services Limited: Royal Mail Group Limited (company number 04138203), which holds 75% or more of the company’s issued shares and voting rights and has the right to appoint or remove a majority of its directors. This interest was notified to Companies House on 2 March 2024, the company’s date of incorporation. UK PSC filings disclose ownership as percentage bands rather than an exact figure, so a precise shareholding percentage is not publicly available. No other shareholders are listed, and no separate published share register or share-class breakdown was located. This disclosure should be treated as major-shareholder information available through the statutory PSC regime rather than a complete shareholder register.

### Ultimate beneficial ownership

No individual has been registered as a person with significant control of International Distributions Services Limited; its only disclosed controlling interest is the corporate entity Royal Mail Group Limited. Because UK PSC bands do not provide exact percentages at each level of a multi-tier ownership chain, an effective ownership percentage for any individual further up the corporate structure cannot be reliably calculated from public filings, so no UBO is stated here.

### Data availability

Shareholder information for this company is available on a major-shareholder basis through the UK PSC register rather than as a full share register; percentages are disclosed as statutory bands rather than exact figures. Information is current as of the retrieval date, 15 September 2026.

Companies House records one active officer for International Distributions Services Limited: Darren Lee Heilig, who has held the role of Director since 2 March 2024, the company’s date of incorporation. No resignations or former officers are recorded, and no company secretary is listed, which is standard for a UK private limited company since that position is no longer mandatory. Mr Heilig’s nationality is officially disclosed as British; his country of residence is recorded as the United Kingdom. His correspondence address for this appointment is recorded as 185 Farringdon Road, London, EC1A 1AA — the company’s registered office — which is a service address rather than a residential address. Companies House lists his identity verification as complete. This reflects the officer register as retrieved on 15 September 2026; no earlier or subsequent officer filings were identified.

### Data availability

Officer information for UK private limited companies is disclosed in full through Companies House, including appointment dates, nationality and country of residence for natural-person directors; no jurisdiction-specific data limitations were identified for this filing.

International Distributions Services Limited is not an independent company. Its immediate parent, confirmed through the Companies House PSC register, is Royal Mail Group Limited (company number 04138203), which holds 75% or more of its shares and voting rights, effective from the company’s incorporation on 2 March 2024.

Royal Mail Group Limited’s own PSC filing shows that it is, in turn, majority-controlled by Ids Holdco Limited (company number 03229377, formerly RMGLS Holdco Limited), a relationship notified on 31 August 2021. Ids Holdco Limited’s PSC filing shows that it is majority-controlled by International Distribution Services Limited (company number 08680755) — the entity formerly named Royal Mail plc and, between 2022 and 2024, International Distributions Services plc — a relationship notified on 28 June 2021.

International Distribution Services Limited (08680755) itself became privately owned in 2025: its current PSC filing, notified 2 June 2025, records EP Distribution Services Limited (company number 15542876) as holding 75% or more of its shares and voting rights, consistent with reported news coverage of EP Group’s completed acquisition and take-private of the former Royal Mail plc / International Distribution Services plc in mid-2025.

Each relationship in this chain is disclosed only as a percentage band (“75% or more”) rather than an exact figure, so an exact effective ownership percentage cannot be calculated through the chain. Most entities in the chain are registered at 185 Farringdon Road, London; EP Distribution Services Limited’s correspondence address is Byron House, 7-9 St. James’s Street, London, SW1A 1EE.
