The most recent insolvency notice for Alphonse Dineen Hair Studio Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 24 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Eileen T F Sale, appointed 19 August 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 November 2023, showed total assets of £3k and net assets of -£18k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 33 months before its first insolvency notice. 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.

A bad debt this size rarely stops with the company that failed. If you're a supplier or creditor left short, it's worth knowing where you rank — and checking what the shortfall does to your own cashflow.

  • Its last filed accounts, to November 2023, already showed negative net assets of -£18k, 33 months before the first insolvency notice.

Each of these is visible 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.
