Castle Water Limited presented a winding-up petition against Appetite Warriors Ltd on 24 April 2026, bringing the Hounslow-based food and beverage business before the Business and Property Courts in Leeds under court number CR-2026-LDS-000431.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first consider the matter at a separate hearing before any order can be made. The petition is listed for hearing at 10:00 hours on 9 June 2026 at the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), Business and Property Courts in Leeds, Fourth Floor, 6 Westgate, Grace Street, Leeds LS1 2RP.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Appetite Warriors Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Appetite Warriors 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 Appetite Warriors 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 Appetite Warriors 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 Appetite Warriors 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.
