The most recent insolvency notice for Bulmer & Lumb Group Limited is an Appointment of administrators, published 25 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Lee Van Lockwood (IP No. 13050); Gareth Harris (IP No. 14412), appointed 21 August 2026. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in Leeds (case CR-2026-830). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2024, showed total assets of £4.3m and net assets of £2.6m. Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners (the administrators) take control of a company to try to rescue it as a going concern, or — where that is not possible — to achieve a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up and to realise the assets. A statutory moratorium halts most legal action against the company while the administrators act.
