The most recent insolvency notice for The Lucid International Group Ltd is an Appointment of administrators, published 30 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Gary Paul Shankland (IP No. 009587) of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, Level 33, One Canada Square, London, E14 5AB; Louise Longley (IP No. 23874) of BTG Beg, appointed 21 October 2026. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in Manchester (case CR-2026-001509). Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners (the administrators) take control of a company to try to rescue it as a going concern, or — where that is not possible — to achieve a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up and to realise the assets. A statutory moratorium halts most legal action against the company while the administrators act.
