Alan Gordon Engineering, George Street, Chorley, PR7 2BE
The most recent insolvency notice for Capabilities Beyond Engineering Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 06 November 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by DRAX ENERGY SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The case is before the The Rolls Building (case CR-2026-007529). The petition is listed to be heard on Wednesday 18 November 2026 10:30 am (or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard). 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.

Petitions to wind up (Companies) 06 Nov 2026
A petition to wind up Capabilities Beyond Engineering Ltd has been filed by Drax Energy Solutions Ltd and a hearing is scheduled for 18 November 2026 at the Rolls Building in London.
What happens next
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order.

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 Capabilities Beyond Engineering Limited?
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.

Is your own business showing the same warning signs?
Falling margins, stretched creditors, overdue filings and HMRC arrears usually appear months before a Gazette notice. Directors who act at that stage keep far more options open, from an informal turnaround to a CVA or restructuring plan.
