The office holders are Georgina Marie Eason; Steven Illes, appointed 17 September 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case CR-2025-009092). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 December 2024, showed total assets of £5.4m and net assets of £15k.

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 Until an order is made the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue is put in place.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.
