Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
Packaging-X Limited, a Gloucester-based courier and packaging services company, passed a resolution on 4 June 2026 to enter creditors' voluntary liquidation. In a CVL, the insolvent company's members vote to wind it up without a court order, and a liquidator is appointed to realise assets and pay creditors in the order of priority set out in insolvency law.
The resolution was published in the London Gazette on 4 June 2026. The company's registered office is listed in the notice as 2 Court Mews, 268 London Road, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham. Companies House records show a separate registered address at Unit C5, Innsworth Lane, Gloucester.
The company
Packaging-X Limited was incorporated on 28 February 2020. It trades under two Standard Industrial Classification codes: 53201, covering other postal and courier activities, and 82920, covering packaging activities. The company filed its most recent accounts, prepared to 28 February 2025, as total-exemption-full accounts, a format available to smaller companies that meet certain size thresholds.
No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, and no web information relevant to the circumstances of the winding-up was available at the time of publication.
The officers
Michael John Stephens has been a director since incorporation on 28 February 2020 and remained in post at the time of the resolution. Adam Johnstone was appointed as a director on 30 January 2024 and resigned on 12 January 2026. Ian Smith served as a director from 8 November 2023 until 30 January 2024, the date on which Johnstone joined the board.
The liquidator appointment
No liquidator appointment details were included in the Gazette notice published on 4 June 2026. In a CVL, a licensed insolvency practitioner takes the role of liquidator, gathering the company's assets, investigating its affairs and distributing any available funds to creditors. Unsecured creditors, those whose debts are not backed by a charge over company assets, receive payment only after secured and preferential creditors have been satisfied.
A proof of debt is the formal claim form a creditor submits to the liquidator evidencing the amount owed. No appointment notice had been published at the time of writing.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Packaging-X 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 Packaging-X 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 Packaging-X 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 Packaging-X 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.
