How do I resign as company director? To resign as a company director, you need to file form TM01 with Companies House. You will also need to inform any fellow directors, in writing, of your intention to resign and serve any notice period as laid out in your employment contract.
The Legal Option Many bylaws require that notice be given to the Board member who might be terminated and that a super-majority of Board members must vote to expel the member. But, again, review your own bylaws and get legal counsel if you need to remove a Board member.
