Shergroup Ltd, Sherwins Ltd and other 'Sher' companies

[HCEOs]

There have been many questions about these companies and confusion amongst the many different 'Sher' companies and what they do so I thought I'd clarify the matter for those who keep asking.

 

Shergroup Ltd

 

Shergroup, which traded as Sherforce until recently, is the vehicle used by Claire Louise Sandbrook to undertake the execution of High Court writs in her capacity as an authorised High Court Enforcement Officer.

 

On 3rd May 2016 there was a First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off, the second one since they had the same on 29th May 2012. This is due to failure to submit company accounts.

 

Companies House information

 

Some peoples concerns are that should the company be dissolved as per the notice then that would likely see the bank accounts closed including the account which holds client monies recovered under enforcement activities.

 

Sherwins Ltd

 

Sherwins, is listed a a firm of solicitors and trades as the Sheriffs Lodgment Centre. This is the vehicle used by Claire Louise Sandbrook (the only solicitor employed by them according to the SRA) to 'transfer up' judgments and orders to the High Court for enforcement. Essentially it is her acting a Solicitor to the claimant and/or client on the transfer form N293A.

 

On the 3rd May 2016 there was a First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off again for overdue accounts.

 

Companies House information

 

The Sherbet Foundation

 

The Sherbet Foundation was a registered charity that was set up to help individuals and families who had been subject to enforcement action. It is unclear how much was passed to these individuals and families but the details of the charity can be and some financial information found here: Sherbet charity info

 

And here: http://www.thesherbetfoundation.com/how-sherbet-works.aspx

 

It would appear that whilst no money has gone through the charity in recent years it is still actively registered.

 

Shercar Ltd

 

Shercar was a system that allowed qualifying enforcement officers and bailiffs the ability to check with DVLA the current registered keeper of a vehicle by inputting it's registration number. It is unclear if this is still used and I am advised that the license has expired. The company also appears dormant although it is unclear if Shercar was once a trading name of another entity.

 

Companies House information

 

There are other 'Sher' companies which include Sherbond Ltd, Sherforce Ltd, Shercurity Ltd and Shergroup Technology Ltd but these are now non-trading and most work goes through Shergroup Ltd.

What about Shergar or that lady who sang with Sonny Bono?

Thanks for the info and the way they are linked HCEOs The whole Claire Sandbrook situation is farcical, she should not be permitted to be involved in UK enforcement whilst resident in the USA, she cannot properly supervise those she sends out to enforce nor exercise due diligence in any meaningful way.

So what has happened to the hceo the smaller companies like dcbl and ces used to use simon williamson? Has he washed his hands of it?

Simon Williamson has done what some would call the right thing and is concentrating largely on one business, that being CES.

 

Claire Sandbrook now lets DCBL use her authority whilst she resides in the US.

I am sure that it is sometime this month that the High Court Enforcement Officers Association have their yearly conference. If so, this subject really needs to be on the agenda.

Excellent response BN.

 

The High Court Enforcement Officers Association will be voting for a new Chairman this week and I would hope that this nasty mess is brought to the attention of all those present. Hopefully HCEO will post back after the event with any news.

The best result would be Claire Sandbrook barred from operating as a HCEO, and passing writs to UK based minions whilst in the USA. In fact she should be struck off and barred for life imho. She is bringing High Court Enforcement into disrepute.

Have the HCEOA had their meeting yet & if so is it possible to say who the new Chairman is and any other Officers? Do we know if the "Sherxxxxxx" problems have been brought up and if so is a resolution in the offing? I'm sure this would be of interest to many.

[ploddertom]

Looking at the list of Directors there are 3 members of the Sandbrook family listed who I assume are Mother, Father & Daughter - 2 of which Father & Daughter who have listed their residence as being USA, the Mother however still lists her residence as UK. Is this a misprint or a way of hoodwinking the authorities?

[brassnecked]

Claire Sandbrook should not be involved in any UK Enforcement whilst a USA resident, so are you going to remove this post like my last one? Time to leave CAG methinks.

The new Chair of the High Court Enforcement Officers Association is Andrew Wilson (the owner of Andrew Wilson & Co). He was a very popular choice.

 

As to any discussions regarding Shergroup, I will leave HCEO to comment.

Although I appreciate he has different things on his mind at the moment - I wonder if Michael Gove is aware, especially as the Authorised HCEO can NOT be in control at all times given the time difference. When I think of the misery this company has heaped on to others I have no regrets that they should suffer and have to squirm. Best thing that could happen is they disappear from the scene and do not arise under another guise.

Amen to that.

Your personal experience with Shergroup a few years back was an absolute disgrace and you deserved every penny that the court awarded you.

Made even worse by an employee of the company that started the action who thought he was God and could never be wrong. Eventually it was proved it was their fault from day one. As a result of other actions the employee lost his job and then cropped up as someone working for Shergroup.
