The most recent insolvency notice for Glens of Antrim Potatoes Limited is a Meetings of creditors (Administration), published 23 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Stuart Irwin (Joint Administrator, IP No. 9656); Ian Leonard (Joint Administrator, IP No. 14610); Robin Coughlin (Joint Administrator, IP No. 32505). The case is before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) (case No 30459 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 July 2025, showed total assets of £8.3m and net assets of £2.5m. Those accounts were filed 14 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners (the administrators) take control of a company to try to rescue it as a going concern, or — where that is not possible — to achieve a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up and to realise the assets. A statutory moratorium halts most legal action against the company while the administrators act.
