Active Company no. SC776044 Incorporated Jul 2023 Hospitality & Food Service DD postcode area
134a Nethergate, Dundee, DD1 4ED
The most recent insolvency notice for DGS Dundee Ltd is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 17 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by BRITISH GAS TRADING LIMITED. The case is before the Dundee Sheriff Court. The petition was listed to be heard on Friday 31 July 2026 at 09:49 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. 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) 17 Aug 2026
A petition was presented on 31 July 2026 at Dundee Sheriff Court to wind up DGS Dundee Ltd under the Insolvency Act 1986.
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 Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded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 DGS Dundee 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.
