The notice was published in the London Gazette on 8 June 2026. The company is registered at 55 Brandearth Hey, Liverpool, L28 1SB, and was incorporated on 13 August 2019 under SIC code 66290, which covers other activities auxiliary to insurance and pension funding.
The liquidation
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up initiated by a company's directors and approved by its members. A licensed insolvency practitioner, acting as liquidator, realises the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors. The process does not require a court order, which distinguishes it from compulsory liquidation.
The Gazette notice records the nature of the business as "other activities auxiliary to insurance and pension funding" and confirms the liquidation type as creditors' voluntary. No liquidator details appear in the notice extract published to the Gazette.
The director
Jack Powell was appointed as director of Jack Powell Ltd on 13 August 2019, the date the company was incorporated at Companies House. No resignation date is recorded against Powell's entry, making him the current director at the time of the notice. No other officers appear in the Companies House record.
Background
Jack Powell Ltd has no prior trading names on its Companies House record. The company's last accounts were due on 13 May 2021, according to the filing data. No secured charges are registered against the company, meaning no secured creditors hold claims over its assets.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Jack Powell 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 Jack Powell 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 Jack Powell 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 Jack Powell 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.
