The High Court of Justice sealed the appointment of joint administrators to HCRG Medical Services Limited on 1 May 2026, placing the Nottingham-based human health activities provider into administration less than six years after it was incorporated.
Joe Barry and Damian Webb, both of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP, were named as joint administrators. Licensed insolvency practitioners, they are now responsible for taking control of the company with a view to rescuing it, selling it as a going concern, or realising its assets for creditors. Barry, whose IP number is 32513, operates from RSM's Birmingham office at 103 Colmore Row. Webb, IP number 14970, is based at the firm's London office at 25 Farringdon Street. Correspondence for the case is handled through case manager Samir Akram at the London address.
The appointment was made under court number CR-2026-003443 in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, Insolvency and Companies List.
About the company
HCRG Medical Services Limited was incorporated on 22 June 2020 and classified under SIC code 86900, covering other human health activities. Its principal trading address was Cumberland Court, 80 Mount Street, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 6HH. The registered office has since moved to RSM's Birmingham premises following the administration appointment.
The company filed its last accounts to 31 March 2024 on an audit-exemption-subsidiary basis, meaning it was treated as part of a larger group for accounting purposes at that time.
The directors
At the time of the administration notice, the serving directors were Paul Michael Collins and Colin Andrew Dobell, both appointed on 10 December 2024 and both resident in England. Earlier directors who had since left the company included David Joshua Deitz, who served from 26 September 2022 until 10 December 2024, and corporate director T20 Pioneer Holdings Limited, which held that role over the same period. Christian Marc Bailes served as a director from 23 August 2021 until 26 September 2022. Ian James Munro and corporate director Seed Cap Limited were both appointed at incorporation and resigned on 23 August 2021.
What this means for creditors and employees
Once administrators are appointed, the handling of creditor claims follows a set statutory course. Administrators issue formal communications to known creditors in due course, with correspondence conducted through RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP at its London address.
Creditors wishing to establish the amount they are owed do so by submitting a proof of debt, the formal claim form used in insolvency proceedings to confirm how much is owed and on what basis.
From the date of appointment, a moratorium under Schedule B1, paragraph 43 of the Insolvency Act 1986 comes into effect. This is the legal pause on most creditor enforcement action: creditors generally cannot start or continue court proceedings against the company without the court's permission.
Customers holding paid-but-undelivered obligations or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the administration. Unsecured creditors, those whose debts are not backed by a charge over company assets, sit behind secured and preferential creditors in the order of distribution. Recovery is not guaranteed and depends on the outcome of the administration.
Employees' claims for unpaid wages, notice pay and statutory redundancy are treated as preferential or unsecured depending on the category. Where the company cannot meet those obligations, the Redundancy Payments Service, a government body, can pay certain statutory entitlements to eligible employees directly, recovering what it can from the administration estate.
No secured charges are registered against HCRG Medical Services Limited at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Hcrg Medical Services Limited?
You are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The administrators will write to known creditors in due course with a proof-of-debt form and timetable for the first meeting. Until that letter arrives, no formal action is required from you. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Hcrg Medical Services Limited?
Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service if the company is unable to pay. The administrators will normally coordinate the RP1 claim with the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Hcrg Medical Services Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits typically rank as unsecured creditors. 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 Hcrg Medical Services Limited?
Watch for Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 if you intend to keep trading under a similar name in a successor company. The rule prohibits a director of a liquidated company from being involved in another company using the same or a similar name for five years, unless one of the statutory exceptions applies.
