Shareholders of PORTMEIRION GROUP UK LIMITED
PORTMEIRION GROUP UK LIMITED has one shareholder of record: Portmeirion Group Plc (company number 00124842), which holds the company’s entire issued ordinary share capital of 30,100 ordinary shares of £1 each, according to share capital data held by Companies House. Companies House’s Persons with Significant Control register separately confirms Portmeirion Group Plc as the company’s registrable person with significant control, recording “ownership of shares – 75% or more” and voting rights in the same band, with control notified from 6 April 2016; PSC filings disclose control in percentage bands rather than an exact percentage. Read together, the share capital record and the PSC filing indicate a single, direct corporate shareholder holding the company’s entire ordinary share capital. No other shareholders or share classes are recorded, and no change to this holding has been notified since 6 April 2016. This overview reflects Companies House records retrieved 10 September 2026.
Data availability
Classification: Full. Companies House publishes both the company’s statement of share capital and its Persons with Significant Control register, together identifying the sole shareholder and its approximate holding band; an exact percentage is not published because PORTMEIRION GROUP UK LIMITED is a private company subject to PSC banding rather than an exact-percentage disclosure regime. No individual ultimate beneficial owner could be reliably identified: the sole shareholder and registered PSC is itself a corporate entity, Portmeirion Group Plc.
