Active Company no. 16090918 Incorporated Nov 2024 LE postcode area
Unit 7 Warren Park Way, Enderby, Leicester, LE19 4SA
The most recent insolvency notice for Atom Food & Drink LTD is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 25 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs on 15 May 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) (case CR-2026-003789 of 2026). The petition was listed to be heard on 23 September 2026 — 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.
HMRC is the petitioning creditor, so the debt behind the petition is unpaid tax — most often VAT, PAYE or corporation tax — rather than a trade debt. HMRC petitions usually follow a long run of missed payments and ignored demands.
