MKM Building Supplies Limited, the Hull-based trade merchant, presented a winding-up petition against MCL Design & Build Limited on 22 April 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the Manchester firm.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order that would place the company into compulsory liquidation, an insolvency process imposed by court order rather than one resolved voluntarily by the company's members. The filing of a petition does not mean the company is in liquidation; the court must first make that order at a hearing.
The petition has been assigned case reference CR-2026-LDS-000404 and is listed to be heard at the Business and Property Courts in Leeds, at the Fourth Floor, West Gate, 6 Grace Street, Leeds, on 23 June 2026 at 10:00, or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard.
The company
MCL Design & Build Limited is registered at 54 Virginia Drive, Pendlebury, Manchester M27 8BR and carries on business under SIC code 41202, which covers the construction of domestic buildings. Companies House records show the company was incorporated on 21 June 2024 and its status remains active.
Michael Richard Lee has been a director since incorporation on 21 June 2024. No other officers appear on the Companies House record.
The petitioner
MKM Building Supplies Limited, whose registered address is Stoneferry Road, Hull HU8 8DE, presented the petition on 22 April 2026 at 10:00. The petitioner is represented by solicitor Andrew Langton of LCF Law Limited, 33 Park Place, Leeds LS1 2RY.
Hearing and next steps
Anyone wishing to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice of intention to the petitioner or to LCF Law Limited by 16:00 on 22 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.
The notice was published in the London Gazette on 11 June 2026.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Mcl Design & Build Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Mcl Design & Build 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 Mcl Design & Build 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 Mcl Design & Build 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 Mcl Design & Build 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.
