UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00410065, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 8 May 1946 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC 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 29 October 2026.

One shareholder is currently on record for UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

Officers

5

Three of the 5 officer records shown for UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Robert Morris (appointed 2002-02-14) and Simon Hotchkiss (appointed 2023-01-05) both serve as Director; Abolanle Abioye (appointed 2004-06-01) serves as Company Secretary. The remaining 2 records shown (Paul Connolly and Simon Baker) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 23 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC 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

UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC LIMITED sits 6 levels below its ultimate parent, Universal Music Group N.V., registered in Netherlands. 2 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC LIMITED is UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in UNIVERSAL/MCA MUSIC LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. Universal Music Group N.V. 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 2 subsidiaries span United Kingdom jurisdiction, 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.
