The most recent insolvency notice for Metro Bandit Limited is a Winding up order (Companies), published 26 July 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is K Jackson, appointed 22 July 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No 004501 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 April 2025, showed total assets of £6.8m and net assets of £6.7m. Those accounts were filed 14 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.
