NEWSPREAD LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Ireland under IE034871, and its current status with Companies Registration Office (CRO) is active. The company was incorporated on 29 July 1971 and lists its registered address as Ireland. 2 shareholders are on record for NEWSPREAD 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 Registration Office (CRO) and was last updated on 29 September 2026.

Directors and officers of NEWSPREAD LIMITED

Two of the 5 officer records shown for NEWSPREAD LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies Registration Office (CRO). MARY GALLAGHER (appointed 2019-01-31) and FRANK LEHANE (appointed 2022-09-01) both serve as Director. The remaining 3 records shown (ROBERT BURNS, CLAIRE MC ADAM and 1 other) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at NEWSPREAD 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.

  • NEWSPREAD LTD (United Kingdom)
  • PARAMOUNT PACKAGING LIMITED (Ireland)

Data availability

Those 3 subsidiaries span Ireland, United Kingdom jurisdictions, 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. One of the 3 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
