The most recent insolvency notice for SHJ Traders Ltd is a Winding up order (Companies), published 08 November 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is J Peacock, appointed 04 November 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No 006972 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 October 2023, showed total assets of £51k and net assets of £129. Those accounts were filed 35 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 liquidator now realises the company's assets, invites creditors to prove their debts, and distributes what is recovered in the statutory order: the costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors (including employees' unpaid wages up to the statutory cap), secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. The liquidator must also report on the conduct of the directors. The company is normally dissolved about three months after the liquidator's final account.

Why did the company go into liquidation?
The Gazette notices record the legal steps, not the cause, so they do not say why the company failed. Its last filed accounts, to 31 October 2023, showed net assets of £129, so any deterioration came after those figures or is not visible in them. For a fuller picture, look in the company's filing history at Companies House for the statement of affairs or the office holder's reports, where these have been filed.
How much did the company owe?
The notices do not give a figure. The closest public number is total liabilities of £51k in its last filed accounts, to 31 October 2023. What was owed when the process began will differ, and is set out in the statement of affairs.
Financial figures are taken from the company's own last accounts filed at Companies House. Small and micro-entity accounts are unaudited, and for a company entering an insolvency process the most recent filing frequently predates that process by a year or more.
