What the records show
DESIGNERS GUILD LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 15 October 1970, with its registered office in Manchester. Companies House lists its business as wholesale of textiles. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 March 2024. Its next accounts, due by 31 March 2026, are overdue. Its confirmation statement, due by 27 October 2026, is overdue.
On 25 September 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming a practitioner of Interpath Ltd.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 1 new charge registered and 2 charges satisfied. It has 1 outstanding charge, held by Close Brothers Limited (The “Security Trustee”). It has 2 serving directors.
An administrator's first aim, under the Insolvency Act 1986, is rescuing the company as a going concern; if that is not reasonably practicable, a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up; and failing both, realising property to pay secured or preferential creditors. Source
