Once a company has been formed, it has the right to change the Directors or Company secretary, or simply their details.  The details of a director can be changed with the use of a CH01 form available from Companies House. You can change the name and service address of a director with the use of this form by stating the previous details of the director, the new details you wish to change to and the date the change will take place. You then simply need to file the form with Companies House.

You can retrieve a CH01 form through the following link:

In the same way, the details of a secretary can be changed using a CH03 form.

The termination or appointment of a director can be made using a TM01 or AP01 form and the termination or appointment of a secretary can be made using a TM02 or AP03 form.

To terminate the office of a director or secretary you state their current details and the date at which their appointment is to be terminated on the TM forms. Appointment of a new director or secretary using an AP form requires an authorization from a director already appointed within the company and the statement of the new director or secretary’s details.

A private limited company must always have at least one director at any one time and therefore care needs to be taken over the order in which such documents are signed and executed.  This can be complex and therefore you may wish to seek the advice of a Chartered Accountant or your professional company secretary (if you have one).

All of the forms mentioned above can all be found at Companies House website:

These forms are compliant with the Companies Act 2006.
