It would appear that the company is facing bankruptcy and has been having problems with the authorities. Does she have the authority to dissolve it?

Alison Wheeler announced today the impending dissolution of Wiki Educational
Resources Ltd (Wikimedia UK). It isn't clear from her message why she
determined to fold it instead of pass on leadership to those interested. [1]

All other considerations aside, the Wikimedia community owes Alison and the
other members of the WMUK board of directors a debt of thanks for their
efforts over the last two years. More than anything else, its clear that
creating and managing a charity as a volunteer in the United Kingdom is a
difficult undertaking.
