Members of LEBE Consultancy Limited resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 19 May 2026, with Stephen Goderski and Paul Williams of PKF Littlejohn Advisory Limited appointed joint liquidators the same day.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members without a court order. It differs from compulsory liquidation, which requires a court to make a winding-up order.
The resolution
The members passed a special resolution and an ordinary resolution at a general meeting on 19 May 2026 to wind up the company voluntarily. Daniel Alan Palen chaired the meeting. The registered address has since moved to PKF Littlejohn Advisory Limited, 30 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London E14 5RE.
LEBE Consultancy Limited was incorporated on 19 March 2015 and carries SIC code 71122, covering engineering-related scientific and technical consulting activities. Its previous registered trading address was 5 Beech Court, Hurst, Reading, RG10 0RQ.
The London Gazette records show that the Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs had presented a winding-up petition against the company on 7 April 2026, claiming to be a creditor. A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation; it does not itself put the company into liquidation. The members' resolution to wind up voluntarily was passed the following month.
The liquidator appointment
Stephen Goderski, IP number 8731, and Paul Williams, IP number 9294, both of PKF Littlejohn Advisory Limited, were appointed joint liquidators by the members and creditors on 19 May 2026. Joint liquidators are two or more licensed insolvency practitioners appointed to act together on a case.
Creditors wishing to participate were required to deliver proofs of debt to PKF Littlejohn Advisory Limited by 4:00pm on 18 May 2026, ahead of the creditors' meeting fixed for 1:30pm on 19 May 2026. A proof of debt is the formal claim form a creditor submits to the liquidators evidencing the amount owed. Enquiries can be directed to Janna Ali at PKF Littlejohn Advisory on 020 7516 2349 or jali@pkf-l.com.
The officers
Daniel Alan Palen has been a director of LEBE Consultancy Limited since its incorporation on 19 March 2015 and remains in post. Lucilene Ferreira Palen was also appointed as a director on incorporation but resigned on 8 December 2023.
The company's last filed accounts were micro-entity accounts made up to 28 February 2025. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Lebe Consultancy 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 Lebe Consultancy 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 Lebe Consultancy 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 Lebe Consultancy 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.
