What this notice means

A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.

What happens next

The liquidator now realises the company's assets, invites creditors to prove their debts, and distributes what is recovered in the statutory order: the costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors (including employees' unpaid wages up to the statutory cap), secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. The liquidator must also report on the conduct of the directors. The company is normally dissolved about three months after the liquidator's final account.

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 holder named in the notice: J Peacock, appointed 07 October 2026. Creditors, employees and anyone holding goods or money belonging to the company should contact them directly, quoting the company number and case number No 006277 of 2026.

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 October 2024, showed liabilities exceeding assets by £208k. 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.

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.
