The most recent insolvency notice for Shanghai Bay 888 Limited is a Winding up order (Companies), published 21 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is J Peacock, appointed 09 October 2026. The case is before the County Court at Southampton (case No 6 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2024, showed total assets of £216k and net assets of £11k. Those accounts were filed 33 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.
