SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00407234, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 28 March 1946 and lists its registered address as United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. 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 21 October 2026.

Shareholders

1

One shareholder is currently on record for SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is SHELL HOLDINGS (U.K.) LIMITED, 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

Four of the 5 officer records shown for SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Shell Corporate Director Limited (appointed 2018-07-19), James Bell (appointed 2019-02-28) and MICHAEL DOWNES (appointed 2025-07-31) all serve as Director; SHELL CORPORATE SECRETARY LIMITED (appointed 2026-05-22) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 1 record shown (Pecten Secretaries Limited) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.

The register reports 53 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. 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

SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. LIMITED sits 4 levels below its ultimate parent, SHELL PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 3 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 3 jurisdictions. Immediately above SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. LIMITED is SHELL HOLDINGS (U.K.) LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in SHELL CHEMICALS U.K. LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. SHELL PLC sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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 3 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Netherlands, Norway 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.
