Unit 11 Hopkins Court, Bennetts Field Trading Estate, Wincanton, BA9 9TD
The most recent insolvency notice for Wincanton Motorsport Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 08 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by MERCHANT MONEY SPV C LTD. The case is before the Business And Property Courts (case CR-2026-MAN-000793). The petition was listed to be heard on Tuesday 29 September 2026 at 10:00 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 October 2025, showed total assets of £324k and net assets of £78k. 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.
The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.

What happens next
