The most recent insolvency notice for Apex All Trades Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (Court), published 25 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Richard Gardiner, appointed 17 August 2026. The case is before the Airdrie Sheriff Court (case AIR-L9 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2018, showed total assets of £5k and net assets of -£12k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 95 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.

What happens next
A winding-up petition asks the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Until an order is made the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, and a liquidator realises the assets and pays creditors in the order fixed by law; creditors prove their debts to the liquidator or the Official Receiver rather than to the company.
