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
A winding-up petition asks the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Until an order is made the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, and a liquidator realises the assets and pays creditors in the order fixed by law; creditors prove their debts to the liquidator or the Official Receiver rather than to the company.

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 LIBERTY STEEL NEWPORT 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 LIBERTY STEEL NEWPORT LIMITED 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: Mark Robert Fry; Benjamin John Wiles; Robert Armstrong, appointed 4 November 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-2026-007158.
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. 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.
How much did the company owe?
The notice does not give a figure, and there are no balance-sheet figures we can show for this company (accounts filed on paper only). What was owed when the process began is set out in the statement of affairs, where one has been filed at Companies House.
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.
