The most recent insolvency notice for Whiteley Home Services Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 20 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Eileen T F Sale (IP No. 8738) of Sale Smith & Co. Limited, Inducta House, Fryers Road, Bloxwich, Walsall, West Midlands, WS2 7LZ, appointed 15 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 01 November 2025, showed total assets of £261k and net assets of £3k. Liquidation winds a company up: a licensed insolvency practitioner (the liquidator) is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order fixed by law, after which the company is dissolved. A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.
