Richard Jeffrey Rones of ThorntonRones Limited was appointed liquidator to M-Light International Ltd on 18 June 2026, placing the London-based commercial lighting supplier into a creditors' voluntary liquidation. The process is a formal insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members without a court order.
The appointment was made by both members and creditors, as recorded in the London Gazette notice published on 22 June 2026.
What the company did
M-Light International Ltd supplied lighting goods to commercial projects, operating under SIC code 46470, which covers wholesale of household goods and related items. The company was incorporated on 30 July 2015 and held its registered office at 3rd Floor, Lawford House, Albert Place, London N3 1QA. Its most recent accounts were made up to 30 June 2025.
The liquidator
Rones, who holds IP number 8807, operates from ThorntonRones Limited at 311 High Road, Loughton, Essex. In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the liquidator's role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set out in insolvency law.
The director
David Michael Breheney has been a director of M-Light International Ltd since its incorporation on 30 July 2015. No other officers appear on the Companies House record.
Secured charges
One outstanding charge is registered against the company. Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC holds a debenture created on 25 April 2023 and delivered to Companies House on 28 April 2023. As a secured creditor, Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC ranks ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution of assets. A debenture of this kind typically gives the holder a floating charge over the company's assets, covering assets that change over time, such as stock and cash, which crystallises on an insolvency event.
Creditors wishing to submit a claim should contact ThorntonRones Limited at the Loughton address. The standard mechanism for doing so is a proof of debt, the claim form submitted to the liquidator setting out the amount owed.
Common questions
Are you owed money by M-Light International 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 M-Light International 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 M-Light International 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 M-Light International 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.
