The office holders are Thomas Mark Harris (IP No. 23370) and Martin Richard Buttriss (IP No. 9291) of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, 2 Harcourt Way, Meridian Business Park, Leices, appointed 26 August 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2024, showed total assets of £170k and net assets of £72k.
