The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Infomedia Publishing Limited on 17 June 2026, under case number 003183 of 2026, placing the Wokingham IT services company into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is a court-imposed process, distinct from a voluntary winding-up, in which the company's assets are realised and distributed to creditors under the supervision of a court-appointed liquidator.
HMRC filed the winding-up petition on 21 April 2026. The court granted the order less than two months after the petition was heard. A compulsory liquidation begins on the date the court makes the order; from that point, the company's assets vest in the liquidator.
The liquidator
S Brindley of the Official Receiver's office has been appointed liquidator, with an appointment date of 17 June 2026. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders. Brindley can be contacted at PO Box 18938, Birmingham, B2 2DY, by telephone on 0300 678 0016, or by email at Enquiries.Liquidation@insolvency.gov.uk.

Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Infomedia Publishing Limited?
Customers 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 Infomedia Publishing Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
