0.2 Litchurch Plaza Business Centre, Litchurch Lane, Derby, DE24 8AA
The most recent insolvency notice for FM Cornerstone Limited is a Winding up order (Companies), published 12 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is S Brindley, appointed 09 September 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case No 004110 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2025, showed total assets of £75k and net assets of -£158k. 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. 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 liquidator must also report on the conduct of the directors. The company is normally dissolved about three months after the liquidator's final account.
