Northern Investors Company

Northern Investors Company PLC (“The Company”) was launched in 1984 and was listed as an investment trust on the London Stock Exchange from 1990. In July 2011 shareholders approved a change in investment strategy, whereby the trust ceased making new unquoted investments and began an orderly realisation of the portfolio with a view to returning funds to shareholders through a series of tender offers over a period of several years. A total of £90.7million was returned to shareholders between 2011 and 2017.

On 15 May 2024, the liquidation of the Company was concluded, and the former Joint Liquidators (Philip Heddell and Richard Barker of Ernst & Young LLP, 1 More London Place, London SE1 2AF) vacated office. The Company was dissolved on 22 August 2024. A copy of the dissolution certificate can be viewed here.

Please note that in accordance with a Court Order dated 23 March 2022 (“the Order”), Patrick Brazzill was replaced as Joint Liquidator by Philip Heddell, an Insolvency Practitioner licenced by the Insolvency Practitioners Association.

Following application by the Company, the UK Listing Authority cancelled the listing of the Company’s Shares on the Official List and the London Stock Exchange cancelled the trading of the Company’s Shares on the London Stock Exchange’s main market for listed securities, in each case with effect from 12 December 2018.
