The most recent insolvency notice for Ams Facilities (SW) LTD is a Winding up order (Companies), published 14 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is S Brindley, appointed 07 October 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No 006286 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2026, showed total assets of £298 and net assets of -£210k. 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. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.
