Fourquest Energy (UK) Limited winding-up petition dismissed
Active Company no. 13781580 Incorporated Dec 2021 TS postcode area
Cleveland Business Centre, Watson Street, Middlesbrough, TS1 2RQ
The most recent insolvency notice for Fourquest Energy (UK) Limited is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 14 July 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by RED INDUSTRIES IS LIMITED. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in Manchester (case CR-2026-MAN-000711). The petition was listed to be heard on 7 July 2026 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 December 2024, showed total assets of £485k and net assets of £363k. Those accounts were filed 18 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.
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.
