Kelly Mitchell and Richard Wragg of Quantuma Advisory Limited were appointed joint liquidators to Purewell Fish Farming Equipment Ltd on 18 June 2026, placing the Hampshire-based specialist manufacturer into a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. The appointment was made by both the members and creditors of Purewell Fish Farming Equipment.
The company
Purewell Fish Farming Equipment Ltd was incorporated on 12 June 2015 and operated from The Workshop, Wollops Wood Farm, Sheardley Lane, Droxford, in Hampshire. Its registered address is being changed to Office D, Beresford House, Town Quay, Southampton. The company's SIC classification is other manufacturing not elsewhere classified, covering specialist equipment production outside the standard industrial categories. Its last accounts were made up to 30 June 2025 and filed as micro-entity accounts.
The liquidators
Mitchell holds IP number 27110 and Wragg holds IP number 23130. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners at Quantuma Advisory Limited, based at Office D, Beresford House, Town Quay, Southampton. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body, identifying the individual practitioner.
As joint liquidators, Mitchell and Wragg will realise the company's assets and distribute any proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set by insolvency law.
The directors
Three directors remain in post at the time of the notice: Colin Winsor, Malcolm Winsor and Rose Winsor, each appointed on 12 June 2015 when the company was incorporated. A fourth director, Paul Winsor, resigned on 9 June 2021 having also been appointed at incorporation.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Purewell Fish Farming Equipment at Companies House, meaning there are no secured creditors with priority claims over the company's assets ahead of the general body of creditors.
The Gazette notice was published on 23 June 2026 under notice code 2443.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Purewell Fish Farming Equipment 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 Purewell Fish Farming Equipment 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 Purewell Fish Farming Equipment 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 Purewell Fish Farming Equipment 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.
