Shareholders of STERILIN LIMITED
One shareholder/person with significant control (PSC) is currently disclosed for STERILIN LIMITED on the Companies House PSC register: FSUK Holdings Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under registration number 05281656, with a correspondence address matching Sterilin Limited’s own registered office (3rd Floor, 1 Ashley Road, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 2DT). FSUK Holdings Limited’s registered nature of control is ownership of shares (75% or more), ownership of voting rights (75% or more), and the right to appoint or remove directors, notified on 6 April 2016. Registry-linked shareholder data separately records FSUK Holdings Limited holding 100% of Sterilin Limited’s 5,377 issued ordinary GBP 1.00 shares, consistent with the PSC filing. No other shareholders are disclosed.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
FSUK Holdings Limited is a corporate entity, not a natural person, so it is not itself an Ultimate Beneficial Owner. Tracing the ownership chain one level further: FSUK Holdings Limited’s own PSC register names Fisher Scientific UK Holding Company Limited (England and Wales, registration number 03947481) as its controlling party (75%+ shares and voting rights, notified 6 April 2016, active). Fisher Scientific UK Holding Company Limited’s PSC register in turn shows that Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (Delaware, United States, registration number 0558016) was its PSC from 30 November 2017 until that status ceased on 21 October 2020; since 10 February 2021, Fisher Scientific UK Holding Company Limited has instead filed a statement that it has no registrable person with significant control, meaning no single entity is currently disclosed at that tier as meeting the UK 25%+ PSC threshold. No natural-person UBO is disclosed at any point in this chain. Separately, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.’s most recent Exhibit 21 subsidiary listing (filed with its Form 10-K on 26 February 2026) continues to name Sterilin Limited, FSUK Holdings Limited and Fisher Scientific UK Holding Company Limited as subsidiaries, indicating the group relationship persists at the corporate-reporting level even though the UK PSC chain currently terminates without a registrable controller above Fisher Scientific UK Holding Company Limited.
Data availability
Shareholder and PSC disclosure for this entity is Full for the immediate controlling tier (FSUK Holdings Limited), but Partial for the tier above it: Fisher Scientific UK Holding Company Limited currently has no registrable PSC on file, and no natural-person UBO is identified in UK registry data at any level of the chain.
