The most recent insolvency notice for Beme Group LTD is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 20 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by SECRETARY OF STATE FOR BUSINESS AND TRADE. The case is before the Business and Property Courts in England And Wales (case CR-2026-005521). The petition was listed to be heard on 9 September 2026 10:30AM — 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 a public body, so the debt is owed to government rather than to a trade supplier or a lender.

Petitions to wind up (Companies) 20 Aug 2026
A petition to wind up BEME GROUP LTD has been filed by the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with a hearing set for 9 September 2026.
What happens next
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.

Owed money by Beme Group LTD?
A bad debt this size rarely stops with the company that failed. If you're a supplier or creditor left short, it's worth knowing where you rank — and checking what the shortfall does to your own cashflow.
