SYNOVATE HEALTHCARE LIMITED
Synovate Healthcare Limited is an active private limited company incorporated in England and Wales on 2 May 1984, with company number 01813128. Its registered office is in London. The Companies House register records SIC 73200, market research and public opinion polling.
The company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 describe its principal activity as an investment holding company. This entity-level disclosure provides a more specific account of its role than the registered industry code: it holds investments rather than presenting a separately reported healthcare research operating business.
The 2024 accounts were prepared under FRS 102, including the small-entity provisions of Section 1A. They report administrative expenses of £5,000 and a loss before tax of £5,000, compared with a £12,000 loss before tax in 2023. The income statement does not separately disclose turnover, so these figures should not be read as revenue. The accounts state that the company had no employees during either reporting year.
These financial and staffing figures relate to this legal entity and the reporting period ended 31 December 2024. The Companies House overview identifies that date as its latest filed accounting period when checked on 9 October 2026.

Shareholders and beneficial ownership
Data availability: Partial. Exact ownership is supported for 31 December 2024; current PSC information provides a statutory control band.
Ipsos EMEA Holdings Ltd, company number 04997072, is the direct parent of Synovate Healthcare Limited. The parent’s accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 list Synovate Healthcare Ltd as an English subsidiary with a 100% holding in ordinary shares. Synovate’s own accounts independently identify Ipsos EMEA Holdings Ltd as its immediate parent.
Synovate’s 2024 share-capital note records 100 ordinary shares of 10 pence each, all allotted, called up and fully paid, giving total nominal capital of £10. Each share carries one vote and equal rights to dividends and distributions on winding up. The parent’s 100% investment disclosure is dated financial evidence; it is not a new shareholder register extracted for October 2026.
The current Companies House persons-with-significant-control register lists Ipsos EMEA Holdings Ltd as an active corporate controller, notified on 6 April 2016, with ownership of shares of 75% or more. This statutory control band supports continuing control but does not independently establish an exact current percentage. The reviewed PSC entry identifies a corporate controller, rather than a named natural-person beneficial owner. The accounts identify Ipsos SA as the ultimate parent and controlling party; that corporate designation does not identify an individual UBO.

Group Structure
Group structure
Data availability: Partial. Parent chain and direct subsidiary verified; full group inventory not reviewed.
The accounts identify Synovate Healthcare Limited as an investment holding company within the Ipsos group. Its immediate parent is Ipsos EMEA Holdings Ltd; Ipsos SA, incorporated in France, is the ultimate parent and controlling party. Ipsos EMEA’s own 2024 accounts name Ipsos SA as its immediate parent, supporting that additional step in the chain.
Synovate’s investment note lists Ipsos Healthcare Japan Limited as its subsidiary, with 100% of the nominal value of issued ordinary shares held by Synovate. Despite its name, this subsidiary is incorporated in England and Wales. The accounts describe the subsidiary’s activity as market research for the pharmaceutical industry. That operating activity belongs to the subsidiary and should not be attributed to the holding company.
