Lumine Partners Limited faces winding-up petition from creditor already in liquidation

A company already in liquidation is pursuing a winding-up petition against Lumine Partners Limited, a management consultancy registered in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, with a High Court hearing set for 10 June 2026.

The petitioner is Hoopla Animation Limited, which is itself in liquidation and acting through its liquidator, Lloyd Hinton of Insolve Plus Ltd. Hinton presented the petition on 21 April 2026, naming Lumine Partners Limited of 16 Queen Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, DE7 5GT as the respondent company.

A winding-up petition is a court filing asking a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation. The court must first make a winding-up order at a hearing before any such outcome takes effect. The case will be heard at the Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London, at 10:30am on 10 June 2026, before the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that hears insolvency and company-law applications.

The court reference is CR-2026-003074.

The petitioner

Hoopla Animation Limited is pursuing the petition through its liquidator by way of a standard insolvency mechanism. Where a company in liquidation is owed money by a third party, the liquidator has a duty to recover assets for the benefit of creditors, and a winding-up petition is one route available where the debtor company has not paid.

Hinton's address for service is 14 Bonhill Street, London, EC2A 4BX, which is also the registered office of Insolve Plus Ltd.

The petitioner's solicitors are Coyle White Devine of Boughton Business Park, Bell Lane, Amersham, HP6 6FA. Any person intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to Coyle White Devine by 4pm on 9 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.

The company's status at Companies House remained active at the time the petition was published in the London Gazette on 29 May 2026.

The directors

Andrew John Chambers has been a director of Lumine Partners Limited since its incorporation on 12 January 2017 and remains in post.

What happens next

If the petition is not dismissed or withdrawn before 10 June 2026, the case will be called before the court at the Rolls Building. The court may make a winding-up order, adjourn the hearing, or dismiss the petition depending on the evidence presented. If a winding-up order is made, the Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, would automatically take office as liquidator. Creditors may subsequently nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner to replace the Official Receiver.

Lumine Partners Limited is listed as a litigant in person in the proceedings, according to the case record.
