It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. Rob Edwards, the Hamilton Academical director, has assured supporters of the Lanarkshire club that their annual accounts will be filed “long before” the action date on the compulsory strike off notice which has been served on parent company 1874 Holdings Ltd. 1874 Holdings received the First Gazette Notice - a public warning - from Companies House yesterday due to their failure to submit their accounts on time. The company, which is owned by Edwards and his Morley Sports Management group, now has until June 28 to resolve the matter or the Crown will be able to seize their assets. The notice read, “The Registrar of Companies gives notice that, unless cause is shown to the contrary, the Company will be struck off the register and dissolved not less than 2 months from the date shown above. “Upon the Company's dissolution, all property and rights vested in, or held in trust for, the Company are deemed to be bona vacantia, and will belong to the Crown.” Edwards said, “This is merely because of late accounts due to us having to work back through the financial position of all related entities from 2023/2024. It is standard Companies House procedure when accounts or Confirmation Statement is late. Once accounts are submitted the strike off notice will be removed. “We obviously took on the club in a dire situation and takes time to gain clear understanding, alongside all the other challenges we have faced, but we are making very good progress. The 1874 Holdings accounts will be filed long before the action date. “Our focus remains on doing the job we need to do and getting the club back on stable ground.” 1874 Holdings, which the Morley Sports Management group acquired a 100 per cent stake in from previous owner Serif Zengen on January 3 when they completed their takeover, was last week served with a winding up petition by the debt collection firm Zenith Legal Services Group Limited.
