Sri Vivansh Limited, which traded as Papa Johns from 18-20 High Street in Rayleigh, Essex, passed a resolution to wind up on 4 June 2026, with a liquidator appointed the same day under a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
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. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The resolution
The members of Sri Vivansh Limited resolved on 4 June 2026 to wind the company up voluntarily. The resolution and the liquidator appointment were both published in the London Gazette the same morning. The company's registered office and principal trading address were both recorded as 18-20 High Street, Rayleigh, SS6 7EF.
Sri Vivansh was incorporated on 22 April 2014 and operated under SIC code 56103, which covers take-away food shops. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 March 2025.
The liquidator appointment
The Gazette notice records the appointment of a liquidator under the CVL, published alongside the resolution notice on 4 June 2026. The appointment notice identifies the nature of the business as take-away food shops, trading as Papa Johns.
The directors
Two directors held office at Sri Vivansh Limited. Durga Prasanna Bellapu was appointed on 22 April 2014, the date of incorporation, and remained a director at the time of the notice. Siddhartha Chirumamilla was appointed on 10 July 2015 and also remained in post. Neither director has a resignation date recorded at Companies House.
Secured lender
HSBC Bank PLC holds an outstanding registered charge over Sri Vivansh Limited, created on 9 September 2016 and delivered to Companies House on 11 September 2016. The charge is described as a fixed and floating charge over all assets. A floating charge is a form of security over assets that change from time to time, such as stock and cash, and crystallises on insolvency. HSBC Bank PLC ranks as a secured creditor and will be notified as part of the liquidation process.
Creditors wishing to submit a claim should contact the appointed liquidator. The official Gazette notices and the full Companies House record for Sri Vivansh Limited are publicly available.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Sri Vivansh 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 Vivansh 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 Vivansh 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 Vivansh 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.
