The most recent insolvency notice for Auto Crash Repairs Somerset Limited is a Resolution for winding up (CVL), published 09 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Dylan Quail (IP No. 9547) of Money Managers (UK) Ltd T/A Business Guardian, Coppull Business Centre, Mill Lane, Chorley, Lancashire, PR7 5BW, appointed 2 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 28 February 2025, showed total assets of £11k and net assets of -£3k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 18 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.
