What this notice means

Liquidation winds a company up: a licensed insolvency practitioner (the liquidator) is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order fixed by law, after which the company is dissolved. A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.

What happens next

The liquidator realises the assets, writes to known creditors inviting claims, reports on the directors' conduct, and distributes what is recovered in the order fixed by law — costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors, secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. Claims go to the liquidator named in the notice, not to the company. The company is dissolved once the liquidation is complete.

Is your own business showing the same warning signs?

Falling margins, stretched creditors, overdue filings and HMRC arrears usually appear months before a Gazette notice. Directors who act at that stage keep far more options open, from an informal turnaround to a CVA or restructuring plan.

A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.

What happens next?

The liquidator realises the assets, writes to known creditors inviting claims, reports on the directors' conduct, and distributes what is recovered in the order fixed by law — costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors, secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. Claims go to the liquidator named in the notice, not to the company. The company is dissolved once the liquidation is complete.

Who is dealing with the liquidation?

The office holder named in the notice: Steven Wright, Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, Dains, 169 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 2LB, appointed 24 July 2026. Creditors, employees and anyone holding goods or money belonging to the company should contact them directly, quoting the company number.

Why did the company go into liquidation?

The Gazette notice records the legal step, not the cause, so it does not say why the company failed. Its last filed accounts, to 31 December 2024, showed liabilities exceeding assets by £63k. For a fuller picture, look in the company's filing history at Companies House for the statement of affairs or the office holder's reports, where these have been filed.

How much did the company owe?

The notice does not give a figure. The closest public number is total liabilities of £350k in its last filed accounts, to 31 December 2024. What was owed when the process began will differ, and is set out in the statement of affairs.

How many jobs are affected?

The notice does not say. The last filed accounts recorded an average of 34 employees in the period to 31 December 2024, which is the closest public figure and may be out of date.

The company owes me money — what can I do?

You are a creditor in the process. The insolvency practitioner named in the notice will write to known creditors and invite claims; if you have not heard from them, contact them with your invoices. Unsecured creditors rank after fixed-charge holders, the costs of the insolvency, preferential creditors and floating-charge holders, so recovery depends on what is left in the estate.

I worked there — how do I claim what I am owed?

Unpaid wages, holiday pay and statutory redundancy are claimed from the government's Redundancy Payments Service, not from the company or from K2. The insolvency practitioner named in this notice should give you a case reference to claim with.
