Members of Open Heart Care Ltd resolved on 27 May 2026 that the Morden-based management consultancy could not continue by reason of its liabilities. They passed a special resolution to wind up voluntarily and appointed Jamie Playford of Leading as liquidator the same day.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a 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.
The resolution
A general meeting of members was convened and held at Peel House, London Road, Morden on 27 May 2026. The first resolution, passed as a special resolution, recorded that it had been proved to the satisfaction of the meeting that Open Heart Care Ltd could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business and that it was advisable to wind it up voluntarily. A second resolution, passed as an ordinary resolution, appointed Playford as liquidator. Ahmed Muhidiin Abdulle chaired the meeting.
The liquidator appointment
Jamie Playford holds IP number 9735 and practises from Leading at Lawrence House, 5 St Andrews Hill, Norwich, NR2 1AD. His appointment was confirmed by both members and creditors. Anyone seeking further information can contact the liquidator on 01603 552028.
An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body, identifying the individual practitioner.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Open Heart Care 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 Open Heart Care 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 Open Heart Care 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 Open Heart Care 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.
