Evolve Energy Supply Limited, an energy supplier registered in Lytham St Annes, filed a winding-up petition against KS Bars Limited on 22 May 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the Coventry bar operator. The petition carries court number CR-2026-BHM-00258.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation, that is, liquidation imposed by court order rather than by the company's own members. The filing itself does not wind the company up; the court must first make a winding-up order at a separate hearing.
The hearing
The case is listed at the Birmingham Civil Justice Centre, The Priory Courts, 33 Bull Street, Birmingham, on Tuesday 14 July 2026 at 10:00am. It sits in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications.
Anyone wishing to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice under rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 by 16:00 on Monday 13 July 2026.
Evolve Energy Supply Limited is based at Jubilee House, East Beach, Lytham St Annes, FY8 5FT. Shakespeare Martineau LLP of Waterfront House, Waterfront Plaza, 35 Station Street, Nottingham, NG2 3DQ is acting as solicitor for the petitioner.

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