Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
Iain Townsend and Martyn James Pullin of FRP Advisory Trading Limited were appointed joint liquidators to Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services Ltd on 17 June 2026, placing the North Yorkshire specialised cleaning company into a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. In this case the appointment was made by both members and creditors.
The company
Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services Ltd was incorporated on 19 September 2019 and operated from 89 High Street, Lingdale, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, TS12 3EX. Its registered trade description at Companies House is specialised cleaning services, under SIC code 81222. The registered office is now being transferred to FRP Advisory's address at First Floor, 34 Falcon Court, Preston Farm Business Park, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 3TX.
The company filed its last accounts to 31 March 2025 under the total exemption full regime, available to smaller companies.
The liquidators
Townsend holds IP number 15850 and Pullin holds IP number 15530. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners at FRP Advisory Trading Limited, based at Preston Farm Business Park in Stockton-on-Tees. As joint liquidators, either may generally act alone unless the terms of the appointment specify otherwise.
In a CVL, the liquidators realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of statutory priority.
The directors
Two directors were in post at the time of the liquidation. Michelle Ann McAvoy was appointed on 19 September 2019, the date of incorporation, and remains a current director. Sean Vincent McAvoy joined the board on 1 July 2020 and also remains in post. Neither has a resignation date recorded at Companies House.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services Ltd, meaning no secured creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services 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 Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services 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 Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services 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 Odd Socks Laundry and Housekeeping Services 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.
