Ellan NW LTD wound up by court order

The most recent insolvency notice for Ellan NW LTD is a Winding up order (Companies), published 24 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is L Burgess, appointed 07 October 2026. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in Manchester (case No 001080 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2025, showed total assets of £68k and net assets of £38k. Those accounts were filed 18 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.

What happens next

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.
