The most recent insolvency notice for Granville Stores (IOW) Ltd is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 11 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Judge & Priestley LLP, Justin House, 6 West Street, Bromley BR1 1JN, United Kingdom. The petition was presented by EDF ENERGY CUSTOMERS LIMITED. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No. 006069 of 2026). The petition was listed to be heard on Wednesday 23 September 2026 at 10:30 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 December 2024, showed total assets of £115k and net assets of £22k. Those accounts were filed 20 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
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.
