What Is a Director Appointment or Director Resignation?
A director appointment is the formal act of appointing an individual to serve as a company director. Upon appointment, that person takes on legal responsibility for managing the company’s operations and ensuring it complies with UK company law (Companies Act 2006) and Companies House regulations.
Once appointed, the director’s details including their name, service address, and date of appointment are added to the Companies House public register, where they are visible to the public. This transparency ensures accountability and trust in company governance.
On the other hand a director resignation is the formal process of removing a director from office. When a director resigns, they relinquish their powers, duties, and legal obligations relating to the company’s management, unless they remain involved in another role (for example, as a shareholder).
Although the individual is no longer an active director, their details remain visible on the Companies House register for record-keeping and transparency purposes, clearly showing the date their directorship ended.
Our Director Appointment and Resignation Service ensures both processes are completed accurately and in full compliance with Companies House filing requirements, helping you maintain a correct and up-to-date company record.
