PEARSON OVERSEAS HOLDINGS LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00145205, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 1 November 1916 and lists its registered address as United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for PEARSON OVERSEAS 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 28 October 2026.

Shareholders

1

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

The largest of these is PEARSON PLC, 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

Three of the 5 officer records shown for PEARSON OVERSEAS HOLDINGS LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Fiona Muir (appointed 2019-08-01) and Lynsey Found (appointed 2020-08-01) both serve as Director; Graeme Baldwin (appointed 2020-10-01) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (Suzanne Brennan and Natalie White) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 30 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at PEARSON OVERSEAS HOLDINGS 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

PEARSON OVERSEAS HOLDINGS LIMITED sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, PEARSON PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 11 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 5 jurisdictions. Immediately above PEARSON OVERSEAS HOLDINGS LIMITED is PEARSON PLC, holding 100% as filed in PEARSON OVERSEAS HOLDINGS LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. 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 11 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Sweden 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. Three of the 11 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
