What this notice means
Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners (the administrators) take control of a company to try to rescue it as a going concern, or — where that is not possible — to achieve a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up and to realise the assets. A statutory moratorium halts most legal action against the company while the administrators act.

How does this notice affect you?
Choose what applies and we'll point you at the right next step.
A written-off invoice rarely stops at the company that failed. The supplier left short is often the next business in difficulty — and the earlier that's dealt with, the more options stay open. If SAUNDERS SCOTT LIMITED owed you money, it's worth checking where that leaves you.
Unpaid wages, holiday pay and statutory redundancy are claimed from the government's Redundancy Payments Service, not from K2. The insolvency practitioner named in this notice should send you a case reference — you'll need it to claim.
K2 has backed and restructured UK businesses since 1990, including buying trade and assets out of distress. These situations move in days rather than months, so if you're looking at SAUNDERS SCOTT LIMITED or something similar, start the conversation early.

Who is dealing with the administration?
The office holders named in the notice: Sean Bucknall; Marc Norman, appointed 7 August 2026. Creditors, employees and anyone holding goods or money belonging to the company should contact them directly, quoting the company number and case number CR-2026-005833.
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.
