Members of Europarks U.K. Limited resolved on 12 May 2026 that the company cannot continue by reason of its liabilities, passing a special resolution and an ordinary resolution to wind it up voluntarily. The process is a creditors' voluntary liquidation, in which an insolvent company is wound up by resolution of its members rather than by court order, with a licensed insolvency practitioner appointed to realise assets and distribute proceeds to creditors.

Hatton, IP number 28170, is based at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's Leeds office at 29 Wellington Street. Banfield, IP number 23350, operates from the firm's London office at 7 More London Riverside.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Europarks U.k. 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 Europarks U.k. 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 Europarks U.k. 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 Europarks U.k. 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.
