Blue Sky Systems Limited presented a winding-up petition against Task Lighting Ltd on 8 May 2026, and the Business and Property Courts in Leeds made a winding-up order against the Hayes-based computer hardware wholesaler on 23 June 2026, the date of the hearing. The Official Receiver was appointed liquidator the same day.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Once made, the order places the company into compulsory liquidation, a court-imposed process distinct from a creditors' voluntary liquidation resolved by a company's own members. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders.
The petition
Blue Sky Systems Limited, registered at Dorset House Regent Park, 297-299 Kingston Road, Leatherhead, KT22 7PL, presented the petition claiming to be a creditor of Task Lighting. The case was assigned court reference CR-2026-LDS-000474 and listed before the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications, sitting at the fourth floor of West Gate, 6 Grace Street, Leeds.
Lester Aldridge LLP of Russell House, Oxford Road, Bournemouth acted as solicitors for Blue Sky Systems on the petition. The petition notice was published in the London Gazette on 9 June 2026.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Task Lighting Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Task Lighting Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Task Lighting Limited?
Customers 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 Task Lighting Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
