A winding-up petition filed on 17 March 2026 brought Evolution5 Construction Limited, a Portsmouth building completion and finishing contractor, before the High Court. The case, numbered CR-2026-001949, recorded its last activity on 29 May 2026, according to court listing data. The Gazette published notice of the winding-up order on 6 June 2026.
A winding-up order places a company into compulsory liquidation, the form of liquidation imposed by a court rather than resolved voluntarily by a company's members. Once the order takes effect, the Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, takes office automatically as liquidator to investigate the company's affairs and realise any assets for creditors.
The company
Evolution5 Construction Limited was incorporated on 2 March 2016 and trades under SIC code 43390, covering other building completion and finishing work. Its registered office is Lake House, Morris Crocker Lake House, 2 Port Way, Port Solent, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 4TY.
The company was not always known by that name. From incorporation until 13 December 2017 it was registered as Barrettmoss Construction Limited, a name that appears to combine the surnames of two of its founding directors.
The directors
Three directors held office at the time the notice was published. Jamie Neil Barrett has been a director since incorporation on 2 March 2016. Mark William Dyer was appointed on 26 April 2024. Phil Clarke joined the board on 17 December 2025.
Two former directors had left before the proceedings concluded. Glenn Maurice Obstancias served as a director from 9 March 2023 and resigned on 17 December 2025. Andrew John Flambard was a director from 18 February 2020 until 15 October 2021.
Christopher Jolyon Moss, one of the original directors appointed at incorporation on 2 March 2016, resigned on 3 August 2017. His departure came shortly before the company changed its name from Barrettmoss Construction Limited to Evolution5 Construction Limited in December of that year.
Secured charges
No secured charges were registered against Evolution5 Construction Limited at Companies House, and no secured creditors are identified in the Gazette notice.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Evolution5 Construction Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Evolution5 Construction Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Evolution5 Construction Limited?
Customers 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 Evolution5 Construction Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
