Edmundson Electrical Limited has filed a winding-up petition against Flint Energy Ltd, a Truro-registered electrical installation and environmental consulting company incorporated in March 2022. A hearing is scheduled at Manchester's Business and Property Courts for 21 July 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a hearing. Petition CR-2026-MAN-000837 was presented on 2 June 2026, with Edmundson Electrical claiming to be a creditor of Flint Energy.

Its solicitor for the proceedings is David Banks of Hill Dickinson LLP, based at 1 St. Michael's, 36 Jacksons Row, Manchester.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Flint Energy Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Flint Energy 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 Flint Energy 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 Flint Energy 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 Flint Energy 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.
