The most recent insolvency notice for Midland Forestry Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (MVL), published 30 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are John William Rimmer (IP No. 13836); Thomas Edward Guthrie (IP No. 15012), appointed 26 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2025, showed total assets of £952k and net assets of £512k. Those accounts were filed 13 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. 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.
