Southampton Short Breaks Ltd, a holiday accommodation business registered in Eastleigh, Hampshire, has entered creditors' voluntary liquidation, the London Gazette has confirmed.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up initiated by a company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The company was incorporated on 15 August 2019 and operated under SIC code 55209, which covers other holiday and short-stay accommodation. Its registered office is listed at 75 Bournemouth Road, Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, SO53 3AP. The notice published on 2 June 2026 places the registered office care of 2nd Floor, Endeavour House, 3 Meridians Cross, Ocean Way, Southampton.
The liquidators
The Gazette notice records the appointment of joint liquidators, though the full names of the appointed practitioners were truncated in the available notice extract. The notice classifies the nature of business as "Business Services - Other".
The officers
The sole current director of Southampton Short Breaks Ltd at the time of the CVL is Linda Gill, who has held that role since 10 August 2021 and is resident in England. Gill also served as a director from the date of incorporation on 15 August 2019 until 1 September 2020, when she resigned from that earlier appointment.
Charlotte Helen Stacey served as a director between 1 September 2020 and 13 August 2021. Gill's current appointment began on 10 August 2021, three days before Stacey's resignation took effect on 13 August 2021, so the two directorships ran concurrently for that brief period.
Accounts and charges
Southampton Short Breaks Ltd last filed accounts made up to 31 August 2024, submitted as total-exemption-full accounts, a filing category available to smaller companies. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, meaning there are no secured creditors with a charge over its assets.
The company had no prior names recorded at Companies House and no supplemental notices have been published alongside the CVL appointment.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Southampton Short Breaks 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 Southampton Short Breaks 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 Southampton Short Breaks 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 Southampton Short Breaks 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.
