HFD Limited, trading as Mercado, filed a winding-up petition against MD Contract Flooring Limited on 1 May 2026, bringing the Doncaster-based flooring contractor before the Manchester Business and Property Courts. The case carries court number CR-2026-MAN-000664 and is listed for hearing at 10am on Tuesday 23 June 2026 at the Civil Justice Centre, 1 Bridge Street West, Manchester.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order that would place the company into compulsory liquidation -- liquidation imposed by a court order, rather than a voluntary process. Filing the petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a hearing.
HFD Limited gives its address as Thornes Farm Way, Thornes Farm Business Park, Leeds, LS9 0AN, and claims to be a creditor of MD Contract Flooring Limited. The petition was presented to the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Md Contract Flooring Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Md Contract Flooring Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Md Contract Flooring Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Md Contract Flooring Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Md Contract Flooring Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
