Cotswolds Cars Ltd, a Woodstock-based transport company specializing in airport shuttles and other passenger land transport, has entered liquidation with debts totaling £111,070. The company was appointed liquidators on July 15, 2026, following petitions to wind up initiated at the start of the month.
Company Background and Financial Details
Incorporated on August 16, 2020, Cotswolds Cars Ltd filed its last accounts on August 31, 2024. According to the Gazette, the company reported creditors of £111,070 falling due within a year, while assets were valued at nearly £70,000. The business was categorized under 'other passenger land transport,' which includes non-urban, non-taxi services such as airport shuttles, motor coach with driver, and sightseeing buses.
Liquidators Appointed
Andrew Hook and Julie Anne Palmer, both of BTG Begbies Traynor, have been appointed as joint liquidators. The number of jobs affected by the closure remains unclear at this stage.
Broader Industry Context
This liquidation follows a trend of transport companies collapsing, including haulage firms. S&B Haulage Ltd, based in Leicestershire, appointed liquidators on July 6, 2026, with a notice published in the London Gazette on July 17. The news has dealt a fresh blow to the HGV and freight industries.
