A Birmingham motor vehicle maintenance and repair business has been wound down through a creditors' voluntary liquidation, with a licensed insolvency practitioner appointed to realise its assets for creditors.
TT Auto Centres Ltd, registered at A11 City Industrial Estate, Western Road, Hockley, Birmingham, passed a resolution to enter a creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) on 22 May 2026. In a CVL, an insolvent company's members vote to wind it up at the request of its directors, without a court order, and a liquidator is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors.
The liquidator
Laura Anne Walshe of Keywood Group Limited, based at Gill House, 140 Holyhead Road, Birmingham, was appointed liquidator by the members and creditors. Walshe holds IP number 26250. Her role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors, ranked according to their legal priority.
The company
TT Auto Centres Ltd was incorporated on 25 October 2012 and traded under SIC code 45200, which covers the maintenance and repair of motor vehicles. Its registered office was at the City Industrial Estate in Hockley, a light-industrial district of Birmingham. The company filed its most recent accounts to 31 December 2024 on a total-exemption-full basis, a filing route available to smaller companies.
Officers at the time of liquidation
Three officers are recorded at Companies House. Derek Fitzguard Arthurs was appointed as a director on 22 February 2021 and remained in post at the time of the CVL. Maxine Byfield joined the board as a director on 24 March 2023 and was similarly current at the date of appointment. Carol Robinson has served as both a director and company secretary since incorporation on 25 October 2012, and no resignation is recorded against either role.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against TT Auto Centres Ltd at Companies House, meaning no secured creditors hold a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets. Unsecured creditors, including trade suppliers and any other parties owed money, will rank behind the costs of the liquidation when distributions are made.
Creditors who have not yet submitted a claim should contact Walshe at Keywood Group Limited in Birmingham. The appointment was published in the London Gazette on 28 May 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Tt Auto Centres 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 Tt Auto Centres 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 Tt Auto Centres 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 Tt Auto Centres 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.
