When something changes
Remove a company secretary
When a company secretary resigns or is removed, tell Companies House within 14 days with form TM02. A private company doesn’t need a secretary, so nobody has to replace them. Fileyear picks the secretary from the register, files TM02 and prepares a board minute.
