Members of Obriens Construction Ltd resolved on 26 May 2026 that the company could not continue by reason of its liabilities.

Chris Parkman of Purnells was confirmed as liquidator the same day.
The resolution and the appointment were both published in the London Gazette on 27 May 2026.
The resolution
A general meeting of members, held by correspondence on 26 May 2026, passed a special resolution that the company be wound up voluntarily. Members also passed an ordinary resolution nominating Parkman to act as liquidator for the purpose of the winding-up. Jason Richmond, a director of the company, signed the resolution notice.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Obriens Construction 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 Obriens Construction 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 Obriens Construction 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 Obriens Construction 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.
