C/O Kpm Business Recovery & Insolvency Limited Little Bursdon, Hartland, Bideford, EX39 6HB
The most recent insolvency notice for LRS Haulage LTD is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 08 July 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs. The case is before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) (case CR-2026-003559 of 2026). The petition was listed to be heard on 24 June 2026 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 May 2024, showed total assets of £541k and net assets of -£620k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 25 months before its first insolvency notice. 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.
HMRC is the petitioning creditor, so the debt behind the petition is unpaid tax — most often VAT, PAYE or corporation tax — rather than a trade debt. HMRC petitions usually follow a long run of missed payments and ignored demands.

Owed money by LRS Haulage LTD?
A bad debt this size rarely stops with the company that failed. If you're a supplier or creditor left short, it's worth knowing where you rank — and checking what the shortfall does to your own cashflow.
