79 Ballards Lane, London, N3 1XT
The most recent insolvency notice for Cowboys Meat Ltd is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 19 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by Williams Warman & Guttridge Ltd. The case is before the The Companies Court At The Rolls Building (case CR-2026-007308). The petition is listed to be heard on 11 November 2026 at 10.30 am. 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.
