A Stockport wholesale supplier has asked the Manchester Business and Property Courts to wind up a Birkenhead grocery retailer that was incorporated little more than a year ago.
A G Parfett & Sons Limited, whose registered address is Didsbury Road, Stockport, Cheshire, filed the winding-up petition against SSVT Limited on 1 May 2026. The petition is listed for hearing at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, 1 Bridge Street West, at 10:00 am on Tuesday 23 June 2026.
The petition
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking a judge to make a winding-up order that would place the company into compulsory liquidation, the court-ordered form of liquidation as distinct from a voluntary process resolved by the company's own members. The court has not yet made any such order; the petition is a filing, not a finding.
The case has been assigned court number CR-2026-MAN-000663 and sits in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications.
A G Parfett & Sons describes itself in the notice as a creditor of SSVT Limited. Parfett's address in the notice is given as Didsbury Road, Stockport, Cheshire, SK4 2JP, though the petition also references 1 Hampton Drive, Widnes, WA8 5BZ.
Anyone wishing to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its solicitor by 16:00 on Monday 22 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 4.16.
The solicitor
The petitioner's solicitor is Denise Lamb of Pannone Corporate LLP, 378-380 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 4LY. Correspondence can be directed to denise.lamb@pannonecorporate.com, quoting reference INS/494837.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Ssvt Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Ssvt Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Ssvt Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Ssvt Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Ssvt Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
