The most recent insolvency notice for The 40 Four Group LTD is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 28 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Joanna Watts (IP No. 23310) of McTear Williams & Wood Limited, Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich, NR1 1RE; Freddy Khalastchi (IP No. 8752) of Menzies LLP, 4th, appointed 24 August 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 December 2024, showed total assets of £3.9m and net assets of -£281k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 19 months before its first insolvency notice. Liquidation winds a company up: a licensed insolvency practitioner (the liquidator) is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order fixed by law, after which the company is dissolved. A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.
