Why these appointments?

Companies House does not publish a reliable identifier for a person. We group appointments by name and date of birth, so this list may be incomplete — the same person can appear under a different spelling or with no date of birth recorded.

Records that may be the same person 1

These are separate Companies House records that share details with this one. Companies House does not publish a reliable person identifier, so they may or may not be the same individual. Check before relying on this.
