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.

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 WAHOO 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 WAHOO 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 liquidation?
The office holders named in the notice: Craig Andrew Ridgley (IP No. 23232); Mark Grahame Tailby (IP No. 9115), appointed 14 October 2026. Creditors, employees and anyone holding goods or money belonging to the company should contact them directly, quoting the company number.
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.
