how are directors names displayed in company house

in contempt · Jul 21, 2026

Greetings!

So I want to write son some of them in the correct format
But it dose not display how we the people are told they display

hear is one example

DANDO, Stephen Peter

I presume that DANDO is the sir name given the fact that it is in upper case. But what about the other 2? which is his first and which is his middle name?

Thanks

PS when there are more then one directors of a company what do we do? who is most senior at that company? is it the one top of the list?

Thanks

Dando is the surname/family name
Next two are in order. So he's Stephen Peter Dando in normal life

Order makes no difference.

At CH all directors are equal.

Although not always possible or accurate, if there are three directors and only one of them is a PSC, then that one is also a shareholder (or majority shareholder) so may be the "most senior". If there is more than one PSC, or they are all PSC's, then good luck as no way to tell for sure.

I wouldn’t read too much into the order beyond the basic name format. Companies House isn’t really trying to show someone’s “full name layout” like a passport would, it’s just listing the details they have on record. If I needed to write it somewhere formally, I’d probably check another source or ask the person directly rather than guessing which part is a middle name, imho names easily can be surprisingly inconsistent in official records.

Also, the names on Companies House are those supplied by the person registering. The same person may have several different versions of their name recorded, so they appear only to have 1 Directorship, but reversing the order of forenames, excluding one (or more) forenames, using initials rather than names, adding a title (Dr) for example, all produce a different 'person'. Companies House was supposed to be sorting this out, but I'm not convinced that they will.

@in contempt - are you a director or are you trying to identify a particular director?

MikeJ · Thursday at 8:59 AM

I think he's trying to write to directors, from the first post.

That is the Crown Prosecution Service. You mean PSC.

There are three current officers all with a correspondence address. Not sure what other information you are looking for.

a google search of "who owns punch taverns" come up with "the Fortress Investment Group, a leading US-based global investment manager"

I will just have to write my letter to one of them and chance it then

I can assure you anything to do with beer is ran by the banking cartel (in one form or another)

Or just write to the company secretary.

You are wrong. Agree there may be investors at the top of the chain but that doesn’t mean it is a cartel.

May I suggest that, if you are going to write a letter, you ask someone whose mother tongue is English to check it for you. Have you considered addressing it to the Chief Executive?
