The most recent insolvency notice for Oakleaf Holdings Limited is a Resolution for winding up (CVL), published 16 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Jamie Playford, appointed 14 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2025, showed total assets of £61k and net assets of -£85k. 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. 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.
