The resolution
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
Members passed the special resolution to wind up voluntarily by written resolutions, with the requisite voting majority received on 19 May 2026. An ordinary resolution appointing the liquidator was passed at the same time. The resolution was signed by Louis Gilson, director, and the paperwork was authorised on 25 May 2026.
The liquidator appointment
Andrew Mark Bland (IP number 9472) of DMC Recovery Limited, 41 Greek Street, Stockport, Cheshire, was appointed liquidator by the members and creditors on 19 May 2026. Bland is the licensed insolvency practitioner responsible for realising the company's assets and distributing proceeds to creditors. Further enquiries can be directed to Ketul Patel at DMC Recovery Limited.
A liquidator realises a company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors during a liquidation. This is distinct from an administrator, whose statutory duties can include attempting a rescue.

Louis Crispin Edwin Gilson is the sole current director, having been appointed on 1 November 2025. Three directors held the role previously: Eren Ozagir, who served from incorporation in May 2023 until 31 August 2024; Wayne Stephen Miller, who served from 7 July 2023 until 14 August 2025; and David Thomas Newns, who held the directorship from 14 August 2025 until 1 November 2025.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Nathans Barbers Group 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 Nathans Barbers Group 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 Nathans Barbers Group 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 Nathans Barbers Group 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.
