When you first buy shares in Howden Joinery Group Plc you are given a unique shareholder reference number. This is shown on all share certificates and on dividend counterfoils relating to your account. We recommend that you keep a separate record of your shareholder reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence.

If you bought shares at different times and the name and address you supplied differ, even slightly, from the existing details held by our Registrar, Equiniti, another account may have been created. If this happens and you want the accounts combined, you should contact Equiniti giving your full name and address and, if possible, providing your shareholder reference number (see question 1) for each account. You should note that existing share certificates will remain valid.

The contact details for Equiniti can be found here.

If your certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, you should contact Equiniti as soon as possible, especially as lost or stolen certificates have the potential to be used fraudulently.
