The most recent insolvency notice for Jbod Food Limited is an Appointment of administrators, published 28 July 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Frazer Ulrick (IP No. 23054) of Westgates Restructuring Limited, Ferriby Hall, 2 High Street, North Ferriby, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU14 3JP, appointed 22 July 2026. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in England And Wales (case CR-2026-005752). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 July 2024, showed total assets of £1.6m and net assets of -£1.8m. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 24 months before its first insolvency notice. Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners (the administrators) take control of a company to try to rescue it as a going concern, or — where that is not possible — to achieve a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up and to realise the assets. A statutory moratorium halts most legal action against the company while the administrators act.

What happens next

The administrators must send their proposals to creditors as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within eight weeks of appointment. An administration lasts one year unless creditors or the court extend it. It ends in one of a small number of ways: a sale of the business or its assets as a going concern, a company voluntary arrangement, a move into liquidation, or dissolution where there is nothing left to distribute.

Owed money by Jbod Food Limited?

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.

Financial figures are taken from the company's own last accounts filed at Companies House. Small and micro-entity accounts are unaudited, and for a company entering an insolvency process the most recent filing frequently predates that process by a year or more.
