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.
Anglia Formwork Limited, a fellow construction business, filed a winding-up petition in the High Court against CT09679297 Limited on 27 April 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the company. The petition is listed for hearing at the Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London, on 10 June 2026 at 10:30.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation, that is, court-ordered liquidation as distinct from a voluntary winding-up resolved by the company's own members. Filing a petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make a winding-up order at the hearing.
The company
CT09679297 Limited is registered at Crown House, 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX, and carries out other specialised construction activities under SIC code 43999. The company was incorporated on 9 July 2015 and traded for most of its life as Apec Groundworks Ltd, a name it held from 16 March 2016 until 30 March 2026, when it was changed to its current numeric style. Before the Apec Groundworks name, the company was registered as Anglian Pest and Environmental Control Ltd from the date of incorporation.
Anglia Formwork Limited, the petitioner, is based at Unit 10 Accelerator Way, Snetterton Business Park, Snetterton, NR16 2FT.
The officers
Two founding directors, Michael John Chapman and Jason Jeffery, both served from incorporation on 9 July 2015. Chapman resigned on 12 March 2026 and Jeffery followed on 25 March 2026. On that same date, American Asset Holdings LLC was appointed as a corporate director and is currently the sole officer on record at Companies House.
The replacement of both individual directors with a US corporate entity came in the weeks immediately before the name change and just over a month before the petition was presented.
The petition
Case reference CR-2026-003166 was presented at 10:45 on 27 April 2026. Anyone wishing to appear at the 10 June hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its solicitor by 16:30 on 9 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency Rules.
The petitioner's solicitor is Megan Green of Archor LLP, Unit 8, Park Lane Business Centre, Colchester, CO4 5WR, reachable by telephone on 01206 231379 or by email at Megan.green@archor.co.uk.
The case reference is CR-2026-003166 in the High Court of Justice.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Ct09679297 Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Ct09679297 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 Ct09679297 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 Ct09679297 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 Ct09679297 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.
