Backed by over £5 billion in share capital and wholly owned by Aviva Plc, the company has intentionally transitioned from a PLC to a Limited company, with all directors resigning and control handed to liquidators. The prognosis is terminal, with the entity slated for dissolution after its massive capital reserves are safely distributed to its parent shareholder.","website":"http://generalaccident.co.uk","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/general-accident-1","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/general-accident-1/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/general-accident-1/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC119505","gazette":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/general-accident-1/gazette","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/general-accident-1/control","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/general-accident-1/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
