Advance Cabling Solutions LTD faces a winding-up petition

Unit 15a Whitehouse Road, Stirling, FK7 7SP
The most recent insolvency notice for Advance Cabling Solutions LTD is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 06 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Katie McLachlan, Insolvency Practitioner, Middlebrooks Business Recovery & Advice, 14-18 Hill Street, Edinburgh EH2 3JZ. The petition was presented by United Trust Bank Limited on 25 September 2026. The case is before the Stirling Sheriff Court. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2024, showed total assets of £856k and net assets of £60k. Those accounts were filed 30 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. 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 Oct 2026
A petition was presented to Stirling Sheriff Court to wind up Advance Cabling Solutions Limited, with Katie McLachlan appointed as interim liquidator.
What happens next
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. 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 Advance Cabling Solutions LTD?
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.
