A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. In this case the appointment was made by both the members and creditors.

CFS of Leicester Ltd was incorporated on 27 July 2018 and operated under SIC code 46150, which covers agents involved in the sale of furniture. The Gazette notice records the registered office as Unit 8 The Priory, Priory Road, Wolston, Coventry, CV8 3FX.

Ridgley holds IP number 23232 and Tailby holds IP number 9115. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body to identify the individual practitioner. Both are licensed through Mercian Advisory Limited, based at Unit 8 The Priory, Priory Road, Wolston, Coventry, CV8 3FX.
The director

Common questions
Are you owed money by Cfs of Leicester 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 Cfs of Leicester 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 Cfs of Leicester 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 Cfs of Leicester 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.
