Richmond Atlantic Services Ltd was incorporated on 22 July 2024 and placed into a creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) on 17 June 2026, a lifespan of under two years. A CVL is a formal insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members without a court order.
The company described its nature of business as gambling, financial services and corporate investment. Its registered address at Companies House is 35 West Sunniside, Sunderland.
The liquidation
Members and creditors appointed Robert Horton of R2 Advisory Limited as liquidator on 17 June 2026. Horton holds IP number 8922 and operates from 60 Cannon Street, London, EC4N 6NP, which is also the registered office address in the Gazette notice.
The London Gazette published the notice on 22 June 2026, five days after the appointment.
The directors
Ian Blackburn and Nicholas David Hudson were both appointed as directors on 22 July 2024, the day Richmond Atlantic Services Ltd was incorporated. Neither has a resignation date recorded at Companies House, so both were current directors at the time of the CVL appointment.
Accounts
The company filed micro-entity accounts made up to 31 December 2024. No secured charges are registered against Richmond Atlantic Services Ltd at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Richmond Atlantic Services 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 Richmond Atlantic Services 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 Richmond Atlantic Services 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 Richmond Atlantic Services 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.
