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 PFP CONTRACTORS LTD 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's founder has turned around UK businesses since 1990, and K2 has backed and restructured them since 2001, including buying trade and assets out of distress. These situations move in days rather than months, so if you're looking at PFP CONTRACTORS LTD or something similar, start the conversation early.
If your business is under pressure — creditors circling, a petition threatened, or cash running out — acting early changes the outcome. K2's founder has helped UK directors turn things around since 1990. Talk to us in confidence.
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.

Who is dealing with the administration?
The office holder named in the notice: Deviesh Raikundalia, appointed 7 September 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-MAN-0012.
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.
