Members of Jane, Saunders & Manning Limited resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 21 May 2026, with Richard Paul Rendle of R P Rendle & Co Limited appointed liquidator on the same date.

The resolution
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, the company's members pass a resolution to wind up an insolvent company without a court order. It is the most common form of corporate insolvency in the UK by volume.
The special resolution recorded that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business. A second ordinary resolution named Rendle as liquidator. Both were passed by written resolution under Part 13 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 84(1)(b) of the Insolvency Act 1986.
The liquidator appointment
Richard Paul Rendle, of R P Rendle & Co Limited, holds insolvency practitioner licence number 5766. His registered office address for the case is No 9 Hockley Court, Hockley Heath, Solihull, B94 6NW. Creditors and other interested parties may also contact Daniel Holden at daniel.holden@rprendle.com or by calling 01564 783777.
A liquidator realises a company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors. Rendle's appointment was published in the London Gazette on 28 May 2026.
The company
Jane, Saunders & Manning Limited was incorporated on 20 December 1973 and traded from 1a Warwick Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey, CR7 7NH.

The supplemental resolution notice describes that address as a former trading address, with the case now administered through Rendle's Solihull office. The company's last accounts were made up to 31 March 2025.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Jane, Saunders & Manning Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Jane, Saunders & Manning Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Jane, Saunders & Manning Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Jane, Saunders & Manning Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
