11830883 - COMPANIES HOUSE DEFAULT ADDRESS, Cardiff, CF14 8LH

The most recent insolvency notice for Bitbrush Ltd is a Winding up order (Companies), published 05 November 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is S Brindley, appointed 14 October 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No 006546 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 28 February 2025, showed total assets of £44k and net assets of -£123k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 19 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.

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.

Owed money by Bitbrush 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.
