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.

Quote case number CR-2026-NCL-000140 and the Business and Property Courts in Newcastle Upon Tyne in any correspondence about the case.

How does this notice affect you?

Choose what applies and we'll point you at the right next step.

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 holders named in the notice: Allan Kelly (IP No. 9156); Shaun Hudson (IP No. 31192), appointed 29 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-NCL-000140.

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.
