Common Wholesale Platform Sells UK Assets and Brand to Digital Destiny

The Common Wholesale Platform (CWP), which is a non-profit member-owned organisation that helps alternative UK broadband networks to connect with the retail ISP market, appears to have gone through a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation. The company is now in the process of having its members, assets and brand scooped up by Digital Destiny Ltd.

The CVL is a formal, director-initiated insolvency process, which is often used to close down a company that cannot pay its debts. This usually involves appointing a licensed insolvency practitioner to sell assets and repay creditors in the most orderly way possible, and is an alternative to the more compulsory course of court-ordered liquidation.

According to a message that was recently sent to members of the service, which has been seen by ISPreview: “CWP has found it hard to provide a viable service and the CWP Board have made the difficult decision to place the Company into creditor’s voluntary liquidation … The primary cause of this were the launch delays of the [One Touch Switching] Hub, causing increased debt and insufficient growth in members generating insufficient revenue.”

The good news is that a solution has been found, with the members, brand and assets of CWP now being transferred to Digital Destiny Ltd since 1st February 2026. The new company was only incorporated on 29th January 2026 and its sole Director is listed as Lloyd Felton, who was previously a Director of CWP until 1st June 2024 and is perhaps best known for being the former boss of rural England focused altnet County Broadband.

ISPreview has also been informed that the One Touch Switching Company (TOTSCo), which is the industry-led company responsible for helping to deliver Ofcom’s solution for easier and quicker UK switching between home broadband and phone providers on different networks (One Touch Switching), have agreed in principle to appoint Digital Destiny to be a Managed Access Provider (MAP) – an organisation that helps other ISPs interface with TOTSCo’s central messaging Hub.

This is a first time that any MAP has had to go through such a CVL process and so all sides seem to be working hard to make the transition as seamless as possible. As the company’s proposed liquidator said in a recent message to all of CWP’s customer members: “I have been advised that your service will continue to be delivered with the same support team using the same platform at the same price and I further understand that the new Company will announce more details of its development plans moving forward.”

The new company also appears to have plans to develop a switching solution for business connections too, although there’s currently little information available.
