Officers

5

Three of the 5 officer records shown for LITHGOWS LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. James Lithgow (appointed 1996-04-30) and John Lithgow (appointed 2006-05-08) both serve as Director; Jacqueline McElhinney (appointed 2018-07-16) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (Barbara Cutler and Alastair Wishart) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 16 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at LITHGOWS 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

LITHGOWS LIMITED has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 10 subsidiaries 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 10 subsidiaries span 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.
