Siemens Financial Services Limited presented a winding-up petition against Cooper Brothers Business Group Ltd, a Bury-based clothing and textile wholesaler, on 6 May 2026. The High Court is listed to hear the case later this month.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. The filing does not mean the company has been wound up. The court must first make a winding-up order at a hearing before any liquidation takes effect.
The petition
Siemens Financial Services, whose registered address is at Sefton Park, Bells Hill, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, filed the petition claiming to be a creditor of Cooper Brothers Business Group. The case has been assigned court number CR-2026-003426 in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law matters.
The hearing is scheduled for 10:30 on Wednesday 24 June 2026 at the Rolls Building, 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane, London. Anyone wishing to appear, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice by 16:00 on 23 June 2026 under rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016. Howman Solicitors, of 52/53 Margaret Street, London, acts for the petitioner.
The company
Cooper Brothers Business Group Ltd is registered at 27 Knowsley Street, Bury, BL9 0ST, and was incorporated on 20 February 2018. Its SIC codes cover wholesale of clothing and footwear as well as retail sale of clothing. Companies House shows the company was still active at the time of the petition.
The last filed accounts were made up to 28 February 2023, submitted as total-exemption full accounts.
Directors
Peter Kelly has been a director since 9 January 2025 and is the sole current director on record at Companies House. Tyler James Cooper served two separate tenures as a director: first from 20 February 2018 until 22 April 2018, then again from 3 August 2018 until 9 January 2025, when he resigned. Joshua Luke Ridge was also a director from incorporation on 20 February 2018 and resigned on 9 January 2025.
No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Cooper Brothers Business Group Limited.?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Cooper Brothers Business Group 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 Cooper Brothers Business Group 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 Cooper Brothers Business Group 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 Cooper Brothers Business Group 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.
