Thought that some of you might be interested in http://directors.mapofpower.com/ – we bought the Companies House appointment snapshot and dropped it into a quick little searchable symfony app so you can browse the data - it's the directors and secretaries of every UK company, cross-linked. Quite handy for looking up your PPCs, ex-MPs, etc. Also handy (if you're a childish prat like me) for looking up funny names (see if you can beat Minge Fan, or Arse Plems Kyentu).
How does it know if two people are the same? You could go on name plus date of birth (assuming people have entered their name exactly the same each time) but that's all I can think of. Address is less reliable than it used to be, now that directors can put the company's registered office as their service address.
