The most recent insolvency notice for Ranees Store LTD is a Winding up order (Companies), published 04 July 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is V Prime PO BOX 16662, BIRMINGHAM, B2 2HA, appointed 01 July 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No 003624 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 July 2023, showed total assets of £282k and net assets of £101k. 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.
