ORCHID CELLMARK LTD is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 04045527, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 28 July 2000 and lists its registered address as Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for ORCHID CELLMARK LTD, 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 1 October 2026.

Shareholders

1

One shareholder is currently on record for ORCHID CELLMARK LTD, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is EUROFINS FORENSICS LUX HOLDING SARL, holding 100% — a majority holding.

Because the shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers

5

Four of the 5 officer records shown for ORCHID CELLMARK LTD are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Mark Pearse (appointed 2024-08-20), Andrew Nelson (appointed 2024-08-20) and Mark Carnaghan (appointed 2025-07-01) all serve as Director; Laura Ganderton (appointed 2024-08-20) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 1 record shown (Rob Van Dorp) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.

The register reports 23 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at ORCHID CELLMARK LTD 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

ORCHID CELLMARK LTD sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, EUROFINS SCIENTIFIC SE, registered in Luxembourg. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above ORCHID CELLMARK LTD is Eurofins Forensics LUX Holding SARL, holding 100% as filed in ORCHID CELLMARK LTD's own shareholder record with Companies House. EUROFINS SCIENTIFIC SE 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.
