Benfleet Plastic Warehouse Limited faces a winding-up petition
Active Company no. 07754344 Incorporated Aug 2011 Retail & Wholesale CM postcode area
1-3 High Street, Dunmow, CM6 1UU
The most recent insolvency notice for Benfleet Plastic Warehouse Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 30 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by FLOPLAST LIMITED. The case is before the Business And Property Division In England And Wales (case No. CR-2026-007229 of 2026). The petition is listed to be heard on Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 10:30. 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.

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.

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.
