The most recent insolvency notice for The Plough At Wigston Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 13 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Carolynn Jean Best (IP No. 9683); Martin Richard Buttriss (IP No. 9291) both of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, 2 Harcourt Way, Meridian Business Park, Leice, appointed 8 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2026, showed total assets of £29k and net assets of -£10k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 6 months before its first insolvency notice. 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.
