A SKYDIVING company which organised a fatal tandem parachute jump in which two people died at Dunkeswell Airfield last year is facing the prospect of being struck off the Companies House register.

Companies House started strike-off proceedings after Skydive Buzz failed to submit its annual accounts on time and also missed a deadline for submitting a confirmation statement.

However, the process was paused after an objection was received by the registrar from an unknown person.

Skydive Buzz sole director Jason Farrant said after the June, 2025, tragedy the company was being liquidated by the Official Receiver.

However, no such action has taken place and the Official Receiver told the Wellington Weekly it could only be appointed by a court, not by a company director.

Similar strike-off action was started against two other sister companies run by Mr Farrant, Jump Hi Ltd and Flyhigh Buzz Ltd, again with both being temporarily suspended after objections.

Meanwhile, three other of Mr Farrant’s firms, Skydive UK Ltd, Wingwalk Buzz Ltd, and the Aviator Coffee Bar and Restaurant Ltd were being liquidated.

The coffee bar and restaurant’s administrator, Jon Mitchell, of Westcotts Business Recoverhy LLP, Exeter, said sums were owed to it from various associated companies.

However, Mr Mitchell said it was not expected any money would be received because of the ‘financial positions’ of both Skydive Buzz and Flyhigh Buzz.

There were unsecured creditors’ claims totalling £282,086.30 but there were not enough funds to pay any of them.

Mr Mitchell said Aviator Coffee Bar and Restaurant Ltd had now been fully wound up with no outstanding matters remaining.

Administrators of Mr Farrant’s various companies had previously discovered a complicated web of inter-company debt.

Wingwalk Buzz, Skydive UK, and Aviator Coffee Bar and Restaurant together had a combined deficiency, debt which could not be met, totalling £1.444 million.
