Ae Fruits International LTD faces a winding-up petition

The most recent insolvency notice for Ae Fruits International LTD is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 02 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by STARLING BANK LIMITED. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in England And Wales (case CR-2026-006975). The petition is listed to be heard on Wednesday 04 November 2026 at 10:30. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2021, showed total assets of £7k and net assets of £5k. Those accounts were filed 67 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.

What happens next
