The most recent insolvency notice for Walker Catering Supplies Limited is a Resolution for winding up (CVL), published 02 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Nicholas Simmonds (IP No. 9570); Chris Newell (IP No. 13690). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 April 2025, showed total assets of £1.5m and net assets of £346k. Those accounts were filed 16 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. 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.
