KAO (UK) LIMITED
KAO (UK) LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 04471658, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 27 June 2002 and lists its registered address as United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for KAO (UK) LIMITED, 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.

Directors and officers of KAO (UK) LIMITED
Four of the 26 officer records shown for KAO (UK) LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Edward Barham (appointed 2018-05-01), Joseph WORKMAN (appointed 2025-01-01) and Wendy Brown (appointed 2025-06-12) all serve as Director; Edward Barham (appointed 2018-05-01) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 19 records shown (Serjeants' Inn Nominees Limited, Loviting Limited and 16 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at KAO (UK) 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.

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.
