The most recent insolvency notice for The Ship (Derriford) Limited is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 02 November 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by Foundever GB Limited (formerly known as Sitel UK Limited). The case is before the The Rolls Building (case CR-2026-006743). The petition was listed to be heard on 21 October 2026 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. 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.

Is your own business showing the same warning signs?

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.
