What Wilson Field does

Wilson Field is a UK-based licensed insolvency practice founded in 2001 and headquartered at 260 Ecclesall Road South, Sheffield. The firm delivers formal insolvency procedures including Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), Members Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), Company Administration, Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVA), Compulsory Liquidation, Company Dissolution, and Pre-pack Liquidation, alongside turnaround advisory services (Time to Pay arrangements with HMRC, winding-up petition defense) and personal insolvency services (IVA, Bankruptcy). Adjacent finance solutions, including invoice finance, invoice factoring, invoice discounting, asset finance, and commercial finance, are offered through its wholly-owned WF Financial Solutions subsidiary. Five licensed insolvency practitioners (F.C. Grant, O. Barker, K.A. Burton, E. Dowd, J.J. Fox), regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), underpin service delivery.

Wilson Field operates a consultative sales motion with free confidential initial advice delivered via phone (7 days/week, 9am-8pm), live chat (weekdays), video call, and in-person meetings, supported by a content-led marketing strategy spanning sector-specific hubs, case studies, and Google reviews (287 reviews, 4.8 average). Revenue is generated through professional fees charged per insolvency procedure; only MVL pricing is publicly disclosed (starting at £1,995), while other procedure fees require consultation. Customer segments span UK companies and individuals across hospitality, construction, retail, engineering, transport, real estate, and professional services, with the firm operating nationwide from offices in Sheffield, Leeds, London, Manchester, and the North East.

Following its acquisition by FRP Advisory Trading Limited on 11 September 2023, Wilson Field now operates as a trading style of FRP Advisory Trading Limited, with all work carried out under that entity. The firm has 101-250 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no app presence, and no API, and continues to serve as a regional platform within FRP Advisory's broader national restructuring advisory footprint.
