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.
The Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs presented a winding-up petition on 15 April 2026 against Atelier Technology Group Limited, a Hampshire engineering design and manufacturing company registered at 3 Johnsons Barns, Waterworks Road, Sheet. The petition is listed before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) under case number CR-2026-002949, with a hearing set for 10 June 2026 at 10:30.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation, an insolvency process imposed by court order rather than resolved voluntarily by the company's members. Filing a petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make that order at the hearing. HMRC, acting as a creditor, has brought the petition from its offices at 14 Westfield Avenue, Stratford, London.
The company
Atelier Technology Group Limited was incorporated on 9 June 2022 and carries on business under two SIC codes covering other manufacturing activities and engineering design activities. The company's registered address is in Sheet, a village in the Petersfield area of Hampshire. Its last accounts were made up to 30 September 2024 and were filed as total-exemption-full accounts, a format available to smaller companies.
William Thomas Baker has been the sole director since the company's incorporation on 9 June 2022. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
The hearing
The petition will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice, 7 Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London. Any person wishing to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice of that intention to HMRC or to its solicitor by 16:00 on 9 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016. HMRC's solicitor is the General Counsel and Solicitor to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, also based at 14 Westfield Avenue, Stratford, London, with the reference 2127493.
The notice was signed on 27 May 2026 and published in the London Gazette on 29 May 2026.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Atelier Technology Group Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Atelier Technology Group 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 Atelier Technology Group 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 Atelier Technology Group 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 Atelier Technology Group 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.
