The most recent insolvency notice for Ant Imports & Exports Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 08 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by TECHNICLEAN SUPPLY T/A BLAKE & WHITE LTD of Somborne Estate. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in Leeds (case CR-2026-LDS-00792). The petition was listed to be heard on 22nd September 2026 at 10:00 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. 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.
