What does a Re-use of a prohibited name mean?

This is a formal notice published in The London Gazette relating to the company's insolvency, restructuring or closure.

Who is dealing with the liquidation?

The office holder named in the notice: Shaoib Akhter. Creditors, employees and anyone holding goods or money belonging to the company should contact them directly, quoting the company number.

How much did the company owe?

The notice does not give a figure. The closest public number is total liabilities of £110k in its last filed accounts, to 31 January 2025. What was owed when the process began will differ, and is set out in the statement of affairs.

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.
