2b Sandown Lane, Liverpool, L15 8HY
The most recent insolvency notice for 231 Victoria Ltd is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 02 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by NPOWER COMMERCIAL GAS LIMITED. The case is before the The Royal Courts Of Justice (case CR-2026-006514). The petition was listed to be heard on Wednesday 14 October 2026 at 10:30 hours (or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard) — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2022, showed total assets of £1.5m and net assets of -£20k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 54 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.
The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.

What happens next
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.
