The most recent insolvency notice for M&M First Choice Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 15 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by CASTLE WATER LIMITED. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in Leeds (case CR-2026-LDS-000902). The petition is listed to be heard on 27 October 2026 10:00 hours. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 May 2025, showed total assets of £181k and net assets of £924. Those accounts were filed 16 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. 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.
