Afix Group Ltd filed a winding-up petition against Advance Construction Advisors Ltd at the High Court on 15 June 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the Essex-based construction management consultancy. A winding-up petition is a court application asking a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Filing the petition does not itself put the company into liquidation.
The petition was assigned case number CR-2026-004580 and presented before the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist Chancery Division list that handles insolvency and company-law applications. Afix Group is registered at 31 Cheap Street, Sherborne, Dorset.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Advance Construction Advisors Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Advance Construction Advisors 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 Advance Construction Advisors 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 Advance Construction Advisors 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 Advance Construction Advisors 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.
