UNIVERSAL TYRE COMPANY (DEPTFORD) LIMITED(THE) is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00278970, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 22 August 1933 and lists its registered address as REDDITCH, United Kingdom. 2 shareholders are on record for UNIVERSAL TYRE COMPANY (DEPTFORD) LIMITED(THE), 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 14 October 2026.

Group Structure

UNIVERSAL TYRE COMPANY (DEPTFORD) LIMITED(THE) sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, HALFORDS GROUP PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above UNIVERSAL TYRE COMPANY (DEPTFORD) LIMITED(THE) is HALFORDS AUTOCENTRES LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in UNIVERSAL TYRE COMPANY (DEPTFORD) LIMITED(THE)'s own shareholder record with Companies House. HALFORDS GROUP 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 1 subsidiary spans 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. One of the 1 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
