Officers

5

Three of the 5 officer records shown for OXFORD PUBLISHING LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Nigel Portwood (appointed 2009-09-07), Gillian Bisset (appointed 2021-07-02) and Charles Scobie (appointed 2023-07-14) all serve as Director. The remaining 2 records shown (Giles Spackman and Kevin Brown) 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 OXFORD PUBLISHING 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

OXFORD PUBLISHING LIMITED sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD, registered in Australia. 7 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 8 jurisdictions. The full chain up to THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by OXFORD PUBLISHING LIMITED's own shareholder record. 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 7 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Poland, Turkey, Italy, India, Spain, and 2 more 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.
