Officers

5

Three of the 5 officer records shown for J.M.& W.DARLING LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Geoffrey Robson (appointed 2019-10-29), David Carter (appointed 2020-10-01) and Gordon Johnson (appointed 2025-02-11) all serve as Director. The remaining 2 records shown (Paul Darling and Jacqueline Lockwood) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 14 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at J.M.& W.DARLING LIMITED 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

J.M.& W.DARLING LIMITED has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 1 subsidiary recorded beneath it across 1 jurisdiction. 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 1 subsidiary spans United Kingdom jurisdiction, 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.
