Members of LEBE CONSULTANCY LIMITED resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 19 May 2026, appointing Stephen Goderski and Paul Williams of PKF Littlejohn Advisory Limited as joint liquidators. The resolution came weeks after HMRC had filed a winding-up petition against the Reading-based firm.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. The Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs had presented a petition on 7 April 2026, with a hearing listed at the High Court. The members' resolution was passed on 19 May 2026, the day before that hearing date.
The company
LEBE CONSULTANCY LIMITED was incorporated on 19 March 2015 and operates under SIC code 71122, which covers engineering-related scientific and technical consulting activities. Its registered address before the liquidation appointment was 5 Beech Court, Hurst, Reading, RG10 0RQ. The company filed micro-entity accounts made up to 28 February 2025.
The liquidators
Goderski holds IP number 8731 and Williams holds IP number 9294. Both are of PKF Littlejohn Advisory Limited, 30 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London E14 5RE, which is now the registered office for the purposes of the winding-up. The date of appointment for both is 19 May 2026.

A proof of debt is the formal claim form a creditor submits to evidence the amount owed.

Daniel Alan Palen has been a director since incorporation on 19 March 2015 and signed the winding-up resolution as chairman. Lucilene Ferreira Palen was also appointed as a director on 19 March 2015 but resigned on 8 December 2023.

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.
