An interim liquidator has been appointed to a Scottish city courier company.
The move comes after an HMRC court action against the Edinburgh-registered firm.
Courier Solutions Edinburgh Limited was the subject of a petition by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs in September.
The Edinburgh Sheriff Court action called for the firm to be wound up and a liquidator appointed.
Now, Shona Campbell, of Henderson Loggie, has been appointed interim liquidator.
The nature of the business is described as being “freight transport by road”.
The company’s most recent accounts, for 2025, showed liabilities amounting to £436,890, which had widened from £404,905 in the year prior.
There was a slight increase in the number of compulsory liquidations across the UK last month.

Creditors' court action
Molly Monks, insolvency specialist at Parker Walsh, said: “When creditors take matters to court, directors can have far fewer options left on the table.
“For employees, suppliers and customers, the consequences can reach well beyond the business owner
"Jobs may be put at risk, suppliers may be left chasing unpaid invoices, and customers who have paid upfront could be left wondering whether they will receive what they bought or get their money back.”
A spokesperson for HMRC said it does not comment on individual businesses, but added: "We take a supportive approach to dealing with customers who have tax debts and only file winding-up petitions once we’ve exhausted all other options, in order to protect taxpayers’ money."
