PERKINS ENGINES COMPANY LIMITED
Perkins Engines Company Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered at Companies House in England and Wales under company number 02089227. The register shows the company as active, incorporated on 14 January 1987, with its registered office at Eastfield, Frank Perkins Way, Peterborough PE1 5FQ and a single SIC code of 28110 – manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines. Note 1 to its audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 gives the principal activity as the design, manufacture and sale of diesel engines.
The registration number is older than the Perkins name on it. Companies House records the entity as incorporated as ARROWCITY LIMITED on 14 January 1987, renamed ALL WHEEL DRIVE LIMITED on 28 July 1987 and ALL WHEEL DRIVE (SALES) LIMITED on 11 November 1987; it took the name Perkins Engines Company Limited on 12 February 1998. Filings made before that date sit on the register under the earlier names.
Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2025 was £1,501.4m, 18.08% above the £1,271.4m reported for 2024. Gross profit was £396.8m and operating profit £58.8m, against £2.4m a year earlier; profit before tax was £45.0m after a 2024 loss before tax of £13.9m, and profit for the financial year was £37.7m. Net assets were £166.1m at 31 December 2025. The average monthly number of people employed, including directors, was 2,931 (2024: 2,917), of whom 1,173 were in production and 1,758 in administration and support. These are Perkins Engines Company Limited’s own company-level figures: the filing is a set of separate financial statements, the company being exempt from preparing group accounts under section 401 of the Companies Act 2006. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited them.
The same accounts analyse turnover by destination market: Rest of World £612.5m, Rest of Europe £403.5m, North America £301.0m and the United Kingdom £184.5m. The directors attribute the 2025 increase to a recovery in the electric power market and to continued growth in 900 Series engine sales, and report continued product investment to meet tightening emissions legislation.
One correction to this profile: the website held against this record, neovialogistics.com, is not this company’s. That domain is operated by Neovia Logistics Services, LLC of Dallas, Texas, a separate contract-logistics business; the relationship between the two is set out in the group-structure section below.

Shareholders of Perkins Engines Company Limited
One shareholder is disclosed. Caterpillar UK Engines Company Limited, registered in England and Wales under number 05578070, holds 768,945,000 ordinary shares of £1 each in Perkins Engines Company Limited. Note 23 to the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 records allotted, called up and fully paid share capital of exactly 768,945,000 ordinary £1 shares, unchanged from 2024, so the holding reconciles to 100% of the issued share capital and there is no undisclosed remainder. The Companies House PSC register carries one active person with significant control, the same company, notified on 6 April 2016, with the nature of control recorded as “ownership of shares – 75% or more”; the filing states England as the governing law. Note 29 of the same accounts names Caterpillar UK Engines Company Limited as the immediate parent. No second class of shares and no minority holding is disclosed in any of those filings, and no dividend was proposed or paid for 2025 or 2024.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is identified as a beneficial owner of Perkins Engines Company Limited. The PSC register does not carry a person with significant control, an exemption statement or a “no registrable person” statement; it carries a registrable relevant legal entity, which under the UK rules is the first such entity in the chain and therefore the direct holder. Note 29 of the 2025 accounts identifies Caterpillar Inc., incorporated in the United States, as the ultimate parent undertaking. Caterpillar Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CAT (SEC CIK 0000018230), and no individual is recorded at Companies House as controlling this company. On the evidence reviewed, no natural person meeting the UK 25% threshold could be identified, and an effective-ownership percentage for any individual cannot be calculated.
Data availability
Availability is full for direct ownership: the United Kingdom publishes both the PSC register and the shareholder position in the annual accounts, and the two agree with each other and with the share capital note. Availability for ultimate beneficial ownership is limited by the structure rather than by the jurisdiction – the chain terminates in a widely held listed company, so no individual UBO exists to be published. The baseline Zavia record for this company is accurate on this point: its single stored shareholder row (Caterpillar UK Engines Company Limited, 768,945,000 ordinary £1 shares, 100%) matches the filed accounts exactly.

Directors and officers of Perkins Engines Company Limited
Companies House shows 45 officer appointments in total for Perkins Engines Company Limited, of which 40 have ended. Five directors are in office and there is no company secretary: the last secretary, Natalia Moreno Prieto, was terminated on 20 March 2026 and no replacement has been appointed. The current directors, with the appointment dates and the nationalities the register itself records, are Steven Ferguson (appointed 17 August 2018, nationality American), David John Goldspink (appointed 17 August 2018, British), Jonathan Robert Horn (appointed 1 August 2020, British), Nicolas Marco (appointed 28 February 2025, French) and Richard Hemmings (appointed 1 January 2026, British). The same five are named in the Company Information page of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, filed 18 September 2026. David John Goldspink is a re-appointment rather than a continuous director: he served from 19 July 2011 to 1 October 2013 before the current 2018 appointment. All five give the company’s Peterborough office as their correspondence address. Eight of the 45 appointments are company-secretary appointments; the earliest directorships are recorded only as “appointed before 10 May 1991”.
Recent officer changes
- Richard Hemmings appointed director with effect from 1 January 2026 (form AP01, filed 7 January 2026).
- Jasbir Singh Gill’s directorship terminated 1 January 2026 (form TM01, filed 5 January 2026) and Richard Paul Cotterell’s terminated 31 January 2026 (form TM01, filed 3 February 2026).
- Natalia Moreno Prieto’s appointment as company secretary terminated 20 March 2026 (form TM02, filed 23 March 2026), leaving the office of secretary vacant.
Data availability
Availability is full. The United Kingdom publishes current and former officers with appointment and resignation dates, the officer’s role, the correspondence address, the nationality and the country of residence; it publishes month and year of birth only, and full dates of birth are not public. Four caveats apply to this record. First, Companies House does not assert a date for the oldest appointments – four of them, including one secretary, are marked “appointed before 10 May 1991”, which is the boundary of the electronic register, not an appointment date; the Zavia baseline converts that marker into exact dates of 5 July 1991 and 1 October 1991, which no filing supports. Second, the baseline holds 39 officer rows where the register holds 45 appointments, the six absent ones being a directorship of Vito Hugo Baumgartner, two separate directorships of Adrian Robert Heath, a directorship of Alastair Blakeley Johnston, a secretaryship of Richard Grahame Elsden, and David John Goldspink’s current directorship – the baseline shows Goldspink only as a director who resigned in 2013, which the register and the filed accounts both contradict. Third, the baseline’s address country field reads “US” for two directors whose correspondence address on the register is Peterborough; that field appears to carry country of residence, not the address country. Fourth, officer counts should be taken as appointments rather than people, because several individuals here hold two appointments each.

Group Structure
Group structure of Perkins Engines Company Limited
Perkins Engines Company Limited is not independent. It is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar UK Engines Company Limited (England and Wales, 05578070) and therefore an indirect subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., the United States company that note 29 of the 2025 accounts names as the ultimate parent undertaking. Two independent filings settle that the holding by Caterpillar UK Engines Company Limited is direct: the Companies House PSC register carries it as the sole registrable relevant legal entity, which is by definition the first such entity in the chain, and note 29 names it as the immediate parent. Note 29 also describes Caterpillar Inc. as both the smallest and the largest group into which these results are consolidated – wording that positively excludes any intermediate consolidating entity between the two. Below itself, note 17 discloses one direct subsidiary, Perkins Group Limited, six further subsidiary undertakings held indirectly, and three minority investments of under 20%. The information date is 31 December 2025, published 18 September 2026. Jurisdictions represented are the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, Mexico and Brazil.

Percentages are of the nominal value of the class of share capital, as stated in note 17. Every holding above was identical at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2025, so no acquisition, disposal or reorganisation is reportable for the year.
Data availability
Availability is full upwards and full for the first tier downwards: the PSC register and the audited accounts both name the immediate and ultimate parent, and note 17 lists every undertaking in which the company holds 20% or more. It is partial below that – note 17 marks only Perkins Group Limited as a direct holding and does not say which intermediate company holds each of the other six, so those are reported here as indirect without a stated path, and no effective percentage has been multiplied through a chain that the filings do not set out. The Singapore, India, Mexico and Brazil registration numbers and statuses were not verified against their home registers and are shown as such; the UK numbers and statuses were confirmed at Companies House on 29 September 2026.
Three findings about the stored Zavia group tree, which holds 433 nodes and was not refreshed with the rest of this record. First, it places this company under a chain running Caterpillar Inc. → Caterpillar Americas Co. → Caterpillar Global Investments S.à r.l. → Caterpillar Luxembourg S.à r.l. → Caterpillar UK Engines Company Limited; only the first and last links of that chain are supported by a filing, and the Luxembourg and Florida steps are unverified. Second, it shows “Perkins Engines, Inc.” as a subsidiary of this company, an entity that appears nowhere in note 17, and it places F. Perkins Limited (00265987) elsewhere in the group when the accounts record it as a 2.4% investment held by this company – a holding of that size is not a subsidiary relationship. Third, the identifier it stores for Perkins India Private Limited, AAGCP3353A, is an Indian Permanent Account Number, not a corporate identity number, so it will not resolve against the Indian company register.
A separate point about the same record: the website field holds neovialogistics.com, which is not a Perkins domain and never was. It is operated by Neovia Logistics Services, LLC of Dallas, Texas; RDAP shows the domain first registered on 4 July 2012. The business was Caterpillar Logistics Services until Platinum Equity acquired a majority interest in July 2012, with Caterpillar Inc. retaining a 35% stake, and was renamed Neovia on 1 November 2012; Platinum Equity announced on 3 March 2015 the completion of its sale to an affiliate of Goldman Sachs and funds affiliated with Rhône Capital L.L.C., stating that Caterpillar had exited its position as well. Neovia Logistics Services, LLC is therefore a former Caterpillar group business, disposed of in stages between 2012 and 2015. It has never been disclosed as a subsidiary, parent or sister company of Perkins Engines Company Limited in any filing reviewed here, and the presence of its domain on this record is a data error rather than evidence of a corporate link.
