Registry summary

Company overview

LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 01964172, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 25 November 1985 and lists its registered address as MANCHESTER, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES 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 8 November 2026.

Registry notes and limitations

Two of the 4 officer records shown for LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Christopher Smith (appointed 2015-02-28) and Mark Strickland (appointed 2021-06-07) both serve as Director. The remaining 2 records shown (Howard Nicholson and Huan Quayle) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 48 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 4 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES 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.

How these relationships were recorded

LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES LIMITED sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, MCBRIDE PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES LIMITED is ROBERT MCBRIDE LTD, holding 100% as filed in LONGTHORNE LABORATORIES LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. MCBRIDE PLC sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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.
