The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Cornerstone Analytics Limited on 13 May 2026, placing the film and media production company into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is court-imposed, as distinct from a voluntary process resolved by a company's own members. The company's registered address was Black Hangar Studios, Lasham Airfield, Hampshire.
The petition had been filed on 24 March 2026, under High Court case number 002247 of 2026. The Official Receiver was appointed on the same day the order was made. In most winding-up orders, the Official Receiver is the civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator. In this case that is S Brindley, based at PO Box 18938, Birmingham, and contactable through the Insolvency Service's central liquidation enquiry line.
The company
Cornerstone Analytics Limited was incorporated on 9 March 2010 and operated across film and media production, with SIC codes covering publishing, video production, and film distribution. Its registered address throughout was Black Hangar Studios at Lasham Airfield, near Alton in Hampshire.
The company traded under a different name for most of its early life. Companies House records show it was originally registered as Limousine Productions Limited from incorporation until 22 November 2017, when it took the Cornerstone Analytics name.
The directors
At the time of the winding-up order, the sole active director was Paul Douglas King, a US resident appointed on 8 July 2025. Jake Seal, also a US resident, had served as a director from 10 March 2010 before resigning on 15 October 2025, roughly seven months before the order was made.
Two earlier directors, Michael Antony Christopher Buckley and Allan George Shiach, both resigned on 1 October 2016. Dunstana Adeshola Davies held the directorship only on the day of incorporation, 9 March 2010, resigning the same day.
What happens next
As liquidator, the Official Receiver will investigate the company's affairs, realise any remaining assets, and distribute proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set by insolvency law. Creditors wishing to make a claim should contact the Official Receiver's office using the details published in the London Gazette notice. The company's last filed accounts covered the period to 31 December 2024.

On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Cornerstone Analytics Limited?
Customers 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 Cornerstone Analytics Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
