The most recent insolvency notice for Virtue Developments York Ltd is a Resolution for winding up (CVL), published 20 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Zane Collins, appointed 14 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2026, showed total assets of £37k and net assets of £659. 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.
