PEARSON EDUCATION HOLDINGS LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00210859, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 2 January 1926 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for PEARSON EDUCATION HOLDINGS 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 30 September 2026.

One shareholder is currently on record for PEARSON EDUCATION HOLDINGS LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

  • PEARSON EDUCATION LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • FAETHM LTD (United Kingdom)
  • LONGMAN GROUP(OVERSEAS HOLDINGS)LIMITED (United Kingdom)

Data availability

Those 3 subsidiaries span 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. Two of the 3 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
