I found this on a business forum Sack a director - UK Business Forums - the UK's most active help and advice forum for owners, managers and entrepreneurs of small businesses and startups.

I believe that you would have to hold Special Board Meeting, and vote against the Director you feel is performing poorly; however, if there are directors, there MUST be a legal shareholder agreement, as companies house ask for this information annually and this show who holds what percentage of shares; the percentage and value of these shares is also shown in LTD company accounts each year.

You can offer to buy the other director out in return for his resignation (there is a form that Companies house issue or is available for download from Companieshouse.co.uk) which is simpler, as remember that as a Director, they are also an employee of the company and can bring an unfair dismissal claim if you try to 'sack' them; they could resign as an emplyoee, but rightfully retain their shares - this means that you would have to pay them dividends each year as technically their shares are part of the capital of the company.......


The director to be added can't be less than 16 yrs of age.

Hope this helps, Stephen. If not, at least I tried

PS: The link in first glance didn't say it was for small businesses. So, please don't think I automatically guessed the size of the company you are talking about. Nevertheless, the rules to "remove" adirector (if not "sack" as such) can't be much different, I suppose?

a director can be sacked at anytime but if he has a shares and doesnt want to give them up your fcuked you will never be able to pay your self dividends.without paying him you can pay yourself a wage and not him. but if he was getting dividends and you stop paying them you leave yourself open to get screwed. how many shares has he got.
