The most recent insolvency notice for West Hythe Financial Services Ltd is a Notices to creditors (MVL), published 20 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Andrew Hawksworth; Andrew James Hawksworth, appointed 16 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 28 August 2025, showed total assets of £241k and net assets of £184k. 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.
