The Business and Property Courts in Manchester made a winding-up order against Anel Engineering & Contracting Limited on 26 May 2026, placing the Chester-based electrical and mechanical contracting firm into compulsory liquidation under case number 000554 of 2026. Compulsory liquidation is court-imposed insolvency, distinct from a voluntary winding-up resolved by a company's members.
The petition that led to the order was filed on 2 April 2026. It was not the first time the company had faced such proceedings: a Gazette notice records that a winding-up petition brought in the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) under case reference CR-2019-006743 was dismissed.
The liquidator
T Tipper, the Official Receiver based in Birmingham, was appointed liquidator on 26 May 2026, the same date as the order. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders. Creditors and other parties can contact the Official Receiver's office by email at NorthWest.OR@insolvency.gov.uk or by telephone on 0300 678 0016.
Companies House records show the court order to wind up was filed at the registrar on 5 June 2026. A confirmation statement had been filed on 20 May 2026, just days before the order was made.
