La Fabrications (south East) Limited enters administration

The most recent insolvency notice for La Fabrications (south East) Limited is an Appointment of administrators, published 23 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Gary Thompson (IP No. 26370) of Vantage Restructuring Limited; Chris Newell (IP No. 13690) of Quantuma Advisory Limited, appointed 16 October 2026. The case is before the Business And Property Courts In England & Wales (case CR-2026-008080). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2025, showed total assets of £1.4m and net assets of -£516k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 18 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.
