If you have changed your name then please let us know so that we have the right information registered on your shareholding.

Before you begin this process, please note:

You do not need to send us certificates or statements as these do not need to be updated with new name details;

We are unable to update holdings on the CREST system, operated by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited. Please contact your CREST sponsor so they can arrange for your details to be updated.

Please send your written request to us at:

We will deal with your request within 5 business days from receipt.
