The office holder is Andrew Ryder (IP number 17552) of JT Maxwell Limited, Unit 1 Lagan House, 1 Sackville Street, Lisburn, BT27 4AB, appointed 19 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2025, showed total assets of £147k and net assets of -£47k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 20 months before its first insolvency notice.

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.
