Sri Saideva Limited, trading as Papa Johns from Stanford-le-Hope in Essex, passed a resolution to enter creditors' voluntary liquidation on 4 June 2026. Liquidators were appointed the same day. An outstanding registered charge held by franchisor Papa John's (GB) Limited remains over the company's assets.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The resolution
Members of Sri Saideva Limited passed the winding-up resolution on 4 June 2026. The company's registered office and principal trading address are both at 21 Kings Parade, King Street, Stanford-le-Hope, SS17 0HP. Companies House records the business under SIC code 56103, covering take-away food shops.
Sri Saideva was incorporated on 11 June 2021. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 March 2025 and filed as micro-entity accounts.
Siddhartha Chirumamilla has been the sole director since incorporation on 11 June 2021. No company secretary appears on the Companies House register.
The liquidator appointment
Liquidators were appointed on 4 June 2026, the same date as the resolution. The appointment is recorded in the London Gazette alongside the winding-up resolution. The nature of the liquidation is confirmed as a creditors' voluntary liquidation, with the business described as a take-away food shop trading as Papa Johns.
Secured charge
Papa John's (GB) Limited, the franchisor, holds an outstanding registered charge over Sri Saideva's assets. The charge was created on 1 March 2023 and delivered to Companies House on 16 March 2023. It remains outstanding at the point of winding up, meaning Papa John's (GB) Limited ranks as a secured creditor in the liquidation. A secured creditor is one whose debt is backed by a charge over the company's assets, giving them priority over unsecured creditors when any proceeds are distributed.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Sri Saideva 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 Sri Saideva 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 Sri Saideva 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 Sri Saideva 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.
