Online

This is a finance vehicle. It is a company formed to issue or hold debt rather than to trade. Vehicles like this do not have websites, marketing or social accounts, and none is listed here because none exists. Its filings and its place in a group are the substance of it.

Group structure

Its immediate parent is DIAGEO PLC.

Ownership as recorded by GLEIF, the body that issues Legal Entity Identifiers. Unlike a shared registered office, these relationships are filed and validated, so they are evidence of a real corporate link.

What it does

This page is compiled from the public register. Companies House does not verify the information filed with it, so treat everything here as what the company reported rather than as established fact. For filings, officers and charges, see the official Companies House record.

A shared registered office is not evidence of a relationship. Formation agents and genuine groups look identical on the register.
