Osprey London identifies Graeme Ellisdon Limited as its operating company. It is a separate business from the Osprey backpacks brand; an association based only on the shared name would be misleading. Current Companies House disclosures for Graeme Ellisdon Limited (03056677): Ellisdon Holdings Limited: Ownership of shares – 75% or more; Ownership of voting rights - 75% or more; Right to appoint or remove directors. These are statutory control categories, not exact shareholdings. They can overlap, including through trusts, and must not be added together or interpreted as sole ownership. [1][2][6]
