The Cheshire-based telecoms company that traded as Pulse Fibre Limited changed its name to PFL Realisations Limited on 15 May 2026, three days after the High Court in Manchester had already appointed joint administrators. The sequence is typical of a pre-pack or controlled wind-down, where a name change signals that the trading identity is being separated from the insolvent entity.
The formal appointment was sealed by the High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts in Manchester, Insolvency and Companies List, under court number CR-2026-00713, with an appointment date of 12 May 2026.
The company
Pulse Fibre Limited was incorporated on 26 January 2022 and carried out telecommunications activities, classified under SIC codes covering wired and wireless communications. Its registered office is now listed as 7400 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 4BS, though the notice records a former registered address at Floor 37 One Canada Square, London E14 5AA. The company's principal trading address was Ground Floor, 2 Station Court, Radford Way, Billericay, CM12 0AB.
The administrators
Lisa Marie Moxon (IP No. 16370) and John Allan Carpenter (IP No. 16270), both of Dow Schofield Watts Business Recovery LLP, were appointed as joint administrators. Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners take control of a company to rescue it, sell it as a going concern, or realise its assets for creditors. Moxon and Carpenter will now manage the affairs of PFL Realisations Limited, and either may act alone unless the terms of appointment specify otherwise.
Dow Schofield Watts Business Recovery LLP shares its address with the company's current registered office at Daresbury Park. Creditors and other parties can contact the joint administrators by telephone on 01928 378014, or by email through Laura Hewitt at laura@dswrecovery.com.
The officers
At the time of the administration notice, the directors on record were Reece Dopson, appointed on 26 January 2022, and Sean Gareth James Pearman, appointed on 9 June 2022, both resident in England.
Secured creditor
One outstanding charge is registered against the company. Nicky Utley, acting as security trustee, holds a charge created on 8 December 2022 and delivered to Companies House on 13 December 2022. A secured creditor is one whose debt is backed by a charge over the company's assets, placing them ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution. The charge is described in the register as a registered charge; the notice does not specify whether it is fixed or floating.
Background
PFL Realisations Limited filed its last accounts, made up to 31 January 2025, on a total exemption full basis, a filing route available to smaller companies. The company was incorporated in January 2022, placing it among the alternative network operators that entered the full-fibre broadband market during the post-pandemic infrastructure build-out. The Gazette notice was published on 22 May 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Pfl Realisations Limited?
You are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The administrators will write to known creditors in due course with a proof-of-debt form and timetable for the first meeting. Until that letter arrives, no formal action is required from you. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Pfl Realisations Limited?
Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service if the company is unable to pay. The administrators will normally coordinate the RP1 claim with the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Pfl Realisations Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits typically rank as unsecured creditors. 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 Pfl Realisations Limited?
Watch for Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 if you intend to keep trading under a similar name in a successor company. The rule prohibits a director of a liquidated company from being involved in another company using the same or a similar name for five years, unless one of the statutory exceptions applies.
