The most recent insolvency notice for Aromantic Limited is an Appointment of administrators, published 29 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Christopher David Horner; Kevin Daniel Pinkerton, appointed 23 September 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2024, showed total assets of £302k and net assets of £36k. Those accounts were filed 24 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.

What happens next

The administrators must send their proposals to creditors as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within eight weeks of appointment. An administration lasts one year unless creditors or the court extend it. It ends in one of a small number of ways: a sale of the business or its assets as a going concern, a company voluntary arrangement, a move into liquidation, or dissolution where there is nothing left to distribute.

Owed money by Aromantic 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.
