They are a Ltd co and have plenty of assets, but my concern is he could state he personally owns the assets and therefore the bailiffs wouldn't take them.

He would need to prove that. Just saying it is not enough.

The assets may be on HP.

After watching the BBC show The Sheriffs Are Coming it seems they're very successful on recovering debts.

That could be because they only air the successful jobs.

No, you're wrong. I've seen a few where they're not successful.

Or if you'd seen the programme, you'd see that there's plenty that are unsuccessful too. 
Their overall rate is good, but it's far from guaranteed.

My husband once used the high court sheriffs (HCS), to recover his final wages from an ex-employer.  The ex-employer had previously sent my husband a photo of a cheque made out to him, and told the HCS that this was proof my husband had been paid.  The HCS rang my husband to check if received anything (no), and then less than ten minutes later rang again asking him to check his bank account for a bank transfer that had just been made.
