GA&A Design Limited entered administration on 6 May 2026. The Weybridge based architectural services business operates from Horizon Business Village and was placed into the formal insolvency process on that date.
Andrew R Bailey and Martin C Armstrong are the joint administrators. This administration is a court appointed process under Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986.
GA&A Design Limited was incorporated on 21 May 2009. Its registered address is 15 Horizon Business Village, 1 Brooklands Road, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0TJ. The company filed its last accounts for the period ending 31 May 2024 as total exemption full accounts.
Sundeep Singh Bhavra was a director at the time of the administration notice, having held the position since 21 May 2009. There were no secured charges registered against the company.
What this means for creditors and customers
The administrators now control the company affairs. They will send payment instructions and statutory communications to known creditors. All correspondence goes through the firm at the contact address listed on the notice.
A proof of debt is the formal claim form a creditor submits to show the amount they are owed. This allows administrators to record claims officially.
A moratorium under paragraph 43 of Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 stops most creditor enforcement action. Creditors cannot start or continue court proceedings unless they have permission from the court.
Customers with paid but undelivered orders, gift cards, or deposits are usually unsecured creditors. Claims for employee wages, notice pay, and redundancy are managed within the administration. The Redundancy Payments Service handles specific employee claims.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Ga&a Design Limited?
You are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The administrators will write to known creditors in due course with a proof-of-debt form and timetable for the first meeting. Until that letter arrives, no formal action is required from you. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Ga&a Design Limited?
Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service if the company is unable to pay. The administrators will normally coordinate the RP1 claim with the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Ga&a Design Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits typically rank as unsecured creditors. 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 Ga&a Design Limited?
Watch for Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 if you intend to keep trading under a similar name in a successor company. The rule prohibits a director of a liquidated company from being involved in another company using the same or a similar name for five years, unless one of the statutory exceptions applies.
