Shareholders of LONDON SECURITY PLC.
Zavia’s internal share-register data, verified 7 September 2026, records three shareholder groupings holding LONDON SECURITY PLC.’s ordinary shares: Eoi Fire Sarl at 80.44% (9,861,954 shares), Tristar Fire Corp at 18.40% (2,256,033 shares), and an aggregate grouping of individual minority shareholders at 1.16% (141,890 shares). This is corroborated by Companies House, which records Eoi Fire Sarl (Luxembourg, registration B80582) as an active person with significant control, notified 1 July 2016, with nature of control described as “ownership of shares – 75% or more” – consistent with the 80.44% holding shown in Zavia’s register. Because LONDON SECURITY PLC. is quoted on AIM rather than a UK regulated market, it remains subject to the persons-with-significant-control regime, unlike companies on the Main Market. Tristar Fire Corp’s 18.40% direct holding falls below the 25% PSC notification threshold, consistent with its absence from the PSC register as a separate entry.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Companies House identifies two active individual persons with significant control connected to LONDON SECURITY PLC.: Mr Jean Jacques Murray (British nationality, resident in England, notified 24 July 2017) and Mr Jean Pierre Murray (French nationality, resident in the United States, notified 24 July 2017, identity verified 21 January 2026). Both are recorded with the same nature of control – “has significant influence or control over the trustees of a trust” – rather than a directly disclosed ownership percentage, so no calculated effective ownership percentage can be stated for either individual. A third individual, Mr Jacques Gaston Murray, was recorded with the same type of control until he ceased to be a PSC on 7 June 2023.
Data availability
Classification: Partial. Companies House confirms Eoi Fire Sarl’s 75%-or-more shareholding and identifies two individuals with trust-related control, but does not disclose an ownership percentage for those individuals, and does not independently confirm the more granular share-register breakdown – including Tristar Fire Corp’s 18.40% holding and the minority-shareholder total – which should be treated as Zavia’s internal register data pending independent regulatory confirmation.

Group Structure
Group structure of LONDON SECURITY PLC.
LONDON SECURITY PLC. is an AIM-quoted holding company for a European fire-protection group; as a UK public company it has no parent above the level confirmed here. Companies House confirms Eoi Fire Sarl (Luxembourg, registration B80582) as the company’s immediate parent, recorded as an active person with significant control holding 75% or more of the company’s shares since 1 July 2016. The company’s own investor disclosures identify an extensive network of subsidiaries trading under the Nu-Swift, Ansul, Total, Premier and Master brands across the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Germany and France; two named UK group companies, Nu-Swift International Limited and Hoyles Fire & Safety Limited, are independently confirmed as active companies sharing LONDON SECURITY PLC.’s registered office at Premier House, 2 Jubilee Way, Elland. Zavia’s internal corporate-linkage data additionally places Eoi Fire Sarl beneath FR Participation S.a r.l. (Luxembourg) and, ultimately, Tristar Fire Corp (Panama) in the ownership chain, but this further layer was not independently confirmed against an authoritative registry in this review. This overview reflects Companies House filings, the company’s own subsidiary disclosures and Zavia’s corporate-linkage data reviewed 10 September 2026.

Data availability

Eoi Fire Sarl’s role as immediate parent is confirmed by a Companies House PSC filing; a wide network of UK and continental European subsidiaries is confirmed by the company’s own investor disclosures and, for two examples, corroborated by a shared Companies House registered office. Individual ownership percentages and the direct/indirect tier for most subsidiaries, together with any entity above Eoi Fire Sarl in the ownership chain, are not independently confirmed in this review.
