Members of Jurassic Couriers Limited resolved on 27 May 2026 that the Weymouth road freight company could not continue by reason of its liabilities. Jamie Playford of Leading was appointed liquidator the same day under a creditors' voluntary liquidation. A CVL is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members without a court order and is the most common form of corporate insolvency in the UK.
The resolution meeting was held at the company's registered office and principal trading address at 4 Cherry Way, Weymouth, Dorset. Mark Harris, who chaired the meeting, has been the sole director of Jurassic Couriers since the company was incorporated on 10 January 2020.
The resolution
At the general meeting on 27 May 2026, members passed two resolutions. The first, a special resolution, confirmed that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue in business and that it was advisable to wind it up voluntarily. The second, an ordinary resolution, named Playford as liquidator.
The appointment was confirmed by both members and creditors, as recorded in the supplemental Gazette notice published on 29 May 2026.
The liquidator appointment
Playford, whose IP number is 9735, practises from Leading at Lawrence House, 5 St Andrews Hill, Norwich, NR2 1AD. The date of appointment is recorded as 27 May 2026. Creditors or other parties seeking further details can contact the liquidator on 01603 552028.
A liquidator's role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set out in insolvency law. Secured creditors rank first, followed by preferential creditors such as employees owed arrears of pay. Unsecured trade creditors typically receive whatever remains.
The company
Jurassic Couriers Limited operated under SIC code 49410, covering freight transport by road.

No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, and no prior names appear on the register.
Harris is the only officer on record, having been appointed as director on the date of incorporation with no subsequent resignation recorded.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Jurassic Couriers 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 Jurassic Couriers 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 Jurassic Couriers 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 Jurassic Couriers 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.
