Members of Howle Hill Nursery Limited, a building completion and finishing contractor based in Coleford, Gloucestershire, passed a resolution on 19 May 2026 to wind up the company through a creditors' voluntary liquidation. This is the insolvent winding-up process resolved by a company's members without a court order.
David Griffiths of BK Plus Limited has been appointed liquidator to oversee the process. Griffiths holds IP number 22930, the licence number issued by his recognised professional body confirming he is authorised to act as a liquidator and to realise a company's assets and distribute proceeds to creditors.
The company
Howle Hill Nursery Limited was incorporated on 27 July 2010 and operated under SIC code 43390, which covers other building completion and finishing work. Its registered office is at Unit 1c Crucible Close, Coleford, Gloucestershire, GL16 8RE. The company's most recent accounts were made up to 31 July 2024 and filed as total-exemption-full accounts, a format available to smaller companies.
The directors
Angela Marina Delaney and Peter John Dowle are both current directors of Howle Hill Nursery Limited, each appointed on 27 July 2010 when the company was incorporated. Neither has a resignation date recorded at Companies House.
Secured charges
Barclays Bank PLC holds an outstanding registered charge over the company, created on 23 December 2014 and delivered to Companies House on 2 January 2015. As a secured creditor, Barclays ranks ahead of unsecured creditors when the liquidator distributes whatever assets are realised.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Howle Hill Nursery 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 Howle Hill Nursery 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 Howle Hill Nursery 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 Howle Hill Nursery 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.
