VISION EXPRESS (UK) LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 02189907, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 6 November 1987 and lists its registered address as Nottingham, United Kingdom. 3 shareholders are on record for VISION EXPRESS (UK) 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 15 October 2026.

Shareholders

3

Three shareholders are currently on record for VISION EXPRESS (UK) LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is VISION EXPRESS GROUP LTD, holding 94.2% — a majority holding — followed by VISION EXPRESS GROUP LTD at 5.8%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes.

Because every 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.

Management authority at VISION EXPRESS (UK) 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

VISION EXPRESS (UK) LIMITED sits 5 levels below its ultimate parent, ESSILORLUXOTTICA, registered in France. 3 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to ESSILORLUXOTTICA is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by VISION EXPRESS (UK) LIMITED's own shareholder record. 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 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 3 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
