J&G Hair Limited, the Essex hairdressing business that traded as The Blind Barber Limited, entered a creditors' voluntary liquidation on 21 May 2026, just over two years after it was incorporated in March 2024.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. Both members and creditors approved the appointment in this case.
The liquidators
Wayne MacPherson (IP No. 9445) and Louise Donna Baxter (IP No. 009123), both of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, were appointed joint liquidators on the same date. A liquidator is the licensed insolvency practitioner who realises the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors. MacPherson and Baxter are based at 1066 London Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 3NA, the address also listed in the Gazette notice as the registered office for the purposes of the appointment.
The company
J&G Hair Limited was incorporated on 23 March 2024 and carried on business under the trading name The Blind Barber Limited. Its SIC classification is hairdressing and other beauty treatment.
The company's trading life was short. Accounts were due by 23 March 2026, and the CVL appointment followed within two months of that deadline.
The directors
Juliet Elizabeth Coombes and Geoffrey James Morgan were both appointed directors on 23 March 2024, the date of incorporation. Neither has a resignation date on record, so both remained current directors at the time of the liquidation notice.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against J&G Hair Limited at Companies House, meaning there are no secured creditors with priority claims over the company's assets.
Common questions
Are you owed money by J&g Hair 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 J&g Hair 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 J&g Hair 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 J&g Hair 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.
