PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00281728, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 17 November 1933 and lists its registered address as GRIFFITHS WAY, ST. ALBANS, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for PREMIER FOODS GROUP 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 22 September 2026.

Directors and officers of PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED

The Director of PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED currently on record is Duncan Leggett; nine of the 64 officer records shown for PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. The remaining 55 records shown (Patrick Metaxa, Stanley Metcalfe and 52 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at PREMIER FOODS GROUP 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

Group structure of PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED

PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, PREMIER FOODS PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 12 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 3 jurisdictions. The full chain up to PREMIER FOODS PLC is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by PREMIER FOODS GROUP 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.

  • CENTURA FOODS LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • Premier Foods, Inc. (United States)
  • PREMIER FOODS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • FUEL 10K LTD (United Kingdom)
  • THE SPICE TAILOR LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • KNIGHTON FOODS LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • MERCHANT GOURMET LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • RH OLDCO LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • MERCHANT GOURMET HOLDINGS LIMITED (United Kingdom)
  • RHM FROZEN FOODS LIMITED (United Kingdom)

Data availability

Those 12 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, United States, Ireland 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. Five of the 12 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.

Can I access PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED's data through an API?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including United Kingdom, so records like PREMIER FOODS GROUP LIMITED's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.
