What the records show
VMS (FLEET MANAGEMENT) LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 21 May 2002, with its registered office in Stevenage. Companies House lists its business as maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, renting and leasing of cars and light motor vehicles and renting and leasing of trucks and other heavy vehicles. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 May 2025.
On 20 October 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming a practitioner of Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 4 directors leaving (latest 25 June 2026), 2 new charges registered, 3 charges satisfied and accounts filed on 5 June 2026. It has 23 outstanding charges, held by Barclays Bank PLC, De Lage Landen Leasing Limited, Hampshire Trust Bank PLC, Investec Asset Finance PLC, Paragon Business Finance PLC, Peac Business Finance Limited, Renaissance Asset Finance Limited and White Oak No.6 Limited. 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
