The most recent insolvency notice for Western Air Ducts (UK) Limited is a Notices to creditors (MVL), published 14 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Michael Solomons (IP No. 9043), Moorfields Advisory Limited, 82 St John Street, London, EC1M 4JN; Milan Vuceljic (IP No. 20172), Moorfields Advisory Limited, 82, appointed 29 September 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 December 2024, showed total assets of £1.4m and net assets of -£322k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 21 months before its first insolvency notice. A members' voluntary liquidation (MVL) is the solvent, orderly winding-up of a company that can pay its debts in full — usually part of a director's retirement, a group restructure, or closing a company that has served its purpose. It is a planned closure, not a sign of financial distress.
