The most recent insolvency notice for Drive Personnel Limited is a Resolution for winding up (CVL), published 05 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Molly Monks (IP No. 19830) of Parker Walsh, Suite A, Victoria House, 19-21 Ack Lane East, Bramhall, Cheshire, SK7 2BE, appointed 31 July 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 April 2025, showed total assets of £322k and net assets of £58. Those accounts were filed 15 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began.

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.

What happens next
The liquidator realises the assets, writes to known creditors inviting claims, reports on the directors' conduct, and distributes what is recovered in the order fixed by law — costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors, secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. Claims go to the liquidator named in the notice, not to the company. The company is dissolved once the liquidation is complete.

Claims go to the liquidator named in the notice, not to the company. The company is dissolved once the liquidation is complete.
Why did the company go into liquidation?
The Gazette notices record the legal steps, not the cause, so they do not say why the company failed. Its last filed accounts, to 30 April 2025, showed net assets of £58, so any deterioration came after those figures or is not visible in them. For a fuller picture, look in the company's filing history at Companies House for the statement of affairs or the office holder's reports, where these have been filed.
How much did the company owe?
The notices do not give a figure. The closest public number is total liabilities of £322k in its last filed accounts, to 30 April 2025. What was owed when the process began will differ, and is set out in the statement of affairs.
How many jobs are affected?
The notices do not say. The last filed accounts recorded an average of 40 employees in the period to 30 April 2025, which is the closest public figure and may be out of date.
Financial figures are taken from the company's own last accounts filed at Companies House. Small and micro-entity accounts are unaudited, and for a company entering an insolvency process the most recent filing frequently predates that process by a year or more.
