A Birmingham-based creditor has filed a winding-up petition against Rhino Site Services Ltd, a Cardiff firm carrying out specialised construction activities, with a court hearing set for next month.
Ryland Bell Limited, of Arca, 59 Temple Row, Birmingham, presented the petition on 7 May 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the company. A winding-up petition asks a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation. The court must first make a winding-up order at a hearing before any liquidation takes effect.
The petition carries case number CR-2026-003484 and will be heard at the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London, on 24 June 2026 at 10:30, or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard.
Rhino Site Services Ltd is registered at The Maltings, East Tyndall Street, Cardiff CF24 5EA. Companies House records show the company was incorporated on 8 July 2014 and is currently listed as dissolved. Its SIC code corresponds to specialised construction activities.
The contact named in the petition notice for Ryland Bell Limited is Howard Roberts, in-house solicitor, of Arca Building, Temple Row, Birmingham.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Rhino Site Services Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Rhino Site Services Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Rhino Site Services Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Rhino Site Services Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Rhino Site Services Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
