HIRD Railway Services enters liquidation with operations stopped<\/p>\n
\n A notice published in the London Gazette on Wednesday, March 4, shared that Gareth Howarth and Philip Lawrence of AMS Business Recovery had been appointed as joint liquidators.\n<\/p>\n
\n Unlike administration, which seeks to rescue a struggling company, liquidation involves closing down the operation, disposing of its assets and settling debts with creditors.\n<\/p>\n
\n All assets and the business were transferred to voestalpine Turnout Technology UK Ltd, and the assembly of IBJs will continue under them.\n<\/p>\n
\n The official announcement in the Gazette states: “At a general meeting of the members of the above-named Company, duly convened and held at the place, time and on the date specified above, the following resolutions were passed as a special resolution, and an ordinary resolution respectively: that the Company be wound up voluntarily, and the Joint Liquidators be appointed.”\n<\/p>\n
\n HIRD’s main trading address is located at Clifford House, Lady Bank Drive, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.\n<\/p>\n
\n Sustainability is said to be at the heart of its ethos, according to the HIRD website.\n<\/p>\n
\n This was applied to everything from the manufacturing process to the products and services they supplied.\n<\/p>\n
\n It adds: “Forming close collaborative bonds with our customers plays an equally crucial role in our environmental output.”\n<\/p>\n
Other transport and travel businesses to have entered liquidation in 2025 and 2026<\/p>\n
\n HIRD Railway Services has joined a list of transport and travel businesses that have entered liquidation in 2025 and 2026.\n<\/p>\n

\n Meanwhile, four UK travel companies have also ceased trading in 2026, resulting in the cancellation of flights and holiday packages to destinations around the world.\n<\/p>\n
\n The four UK travel companies that have closed down in 2026 (so far) are:\n<\/p>\n
