Company Secretary Termination UK "My Own!"

Hi

At long last I have my first question; I’m sure the first of many!

I was appointed a Company Secretary in June 2006, as I have not had any contact with the Director in the last year I thought/hoped they may well have terminated me as there C/S however a quick check and the cost of £3 later I find out I am still the C/S for the company.

First Question.
Is there a way I can terminate my appointment as C/P? I have filled out a 288b form although it looks like the director will need to sign it off?

Second Question.
Am I ok to be a C/S of one company and a Director of another?

Thanks for your help.

Suggest you talk to Companies House and / or your local Business Link on this one. They're both helpful. Remember to keep notes of your conversation and their guidance - preferably get the advisor(s) to confirm their guidance in writing.

As far as I know, once you've formally stated in writing to the relevant Directors that you're resigning from the Company Secretary post as from a specific date, then you've resigned and are free from any subsequent obligations. This is only an opnion, however, which you'd need to check with the experts.

I thought it was normally the MD that filled in the 288b, but as said, as long as you have written to the directors and confirmed your termination, I would assume it would be their responsibility.

As for multiple directorships or director and comp sec of different businesses, no worries there.
