What the last filed accounts showed
As at 31 May 2025 · unaudited · 16 months before the first insolvency notice
These are the company's own figures from Companies House, not from the Gazette notice, and they describe its position at that date rather than what it owes now. Negative net assets means liabilities exceeded assets. The full record is on the Labmedexpert Limited company page.
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.

What happens next
The administrators must send their proposals to creditors as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within eight weeks of appointment. An administration lasts one year unless creditors or the court extend it. It ends in one of a small number of ways: a sale of the business or its assets as a going concern, a company voluntary arrangement, a move into liquidation, or dissolution where there is nothing left to distribute.

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 LABMEDEXPERT 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'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 LABMEDEXPERT LIMITED or something similar, start the conversation early.

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: Kevin Weir (IP number 9332) of Hudson Weir Ltd, 56 Leman Street, London, E1 8EU, appointed 14 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 CR-2026-007938.
Why did the company go into administration?
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 May 2025, showed net assets of £517, so any deterioration came after those figures or is not visible in them. 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.
