The Business and Property Courts in Leeds made a winding-up order against Tinder Corporation Ltd on 26 May 2026, placing the Maidstone-registered IT consultancy into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is imposed by a court order, as distinct from a voluntary winding-up resolved by the company's own members.
The case was filed under court reference 2026 number 000391. The registered office of Tinder Corporation Ltd is listed as 31-33 Albion Place, care of Stephen Hill Mid Kent, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 5DZ.
What the company does
Tinder Corporation Ltd is classified under SIC code 62020, which covers IT consultancy and computer facilities management. The company was incorporated on 4 August 2009 and filed its most recent accounts, prepared as a micro-entity, to the period ending 31 July 2024. Companies House records show the company was previously registered as South East Sweepers Ltd from its incorporation until 1 November 2010, when it adopted the Tinder Corporation name.
The officers
John Edward Thomas Amey has served as both a director and the company secretary since 4 August 2009, the date of incorporation, and held both roles at the time of the order. Paul Michael Hayes was appointed as a director on 1 May 2013 but resigned on 5 January 2026, several months before the winding-up order was made.

Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Tinder Corporation 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 Tinder Corporation 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.
