On 17 January 2023, the Company entered Administration and Dan Christopher Hurd, Joanne Honor Robinson and Alan Michael Hudson, partners of EY Parthenon, were appointed as Joint Administrators (“the Administrators”). The appointment was made by the directors in accordance with paragraph 22 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986.
No other entity in the BritishVolt group is in Administration.
On 26 February 2023, the Joint Administrators completed a sale of the majority of the business and assets of the Company to Recharge Production UK Limited (“the Purchaser”) for an undisclosed sum.
Further information and documents regarding the Administration will be uploaded to this website in due course. Queries specifically relating to the Administration should be emailed to pbvadministration@uk.ey.com

Investors/shareholders
It is anticipated that the creditors of the Company will not be repaid in full.
Given the above, it is expected that there will be no funds available for distribution to shareholders (and the Company’s shares have no value following the appointment of the Administrators).
I regret that no funds are available to maintain the register of members and it is not possible to register any transfers of shares or changes in shareholder details.
