A Kings Hill medical aesthetics practice has passed a resolution to enter creditors' voluntary liquidation, according to a notice published in the London Gazette on 8 June 2026. A creditors' voluntary liquidation is a formal insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members without a court order.
Illuminate Skin Clinics Ltd is registered at 35 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling, ME19 4DG, and operates under SIC code 86220, which covers specialist medical practice activity. The company was incorporated on 14 May 2014. Its registered office and principal trading address are the same Kings Hill premises.
The director
Dr Sophie Mariette Spearpoint is the sole director of Illuminate Skin Clinics Ltd and has held that role since incorporation on 14 May 2014. No other current or former officers are listed at Companies House.
The liquidation process
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up initiated by a company's directors and resolved by its members, without a court order. It is the most common route into corporate insolvency in the UK by volume. Once the resolution is passed, a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed as liquidator to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors.
The Gazette notice does not name a liquidator. No administrator appointment details are included in the filing, and no secured charges are registered against Illuminate Skin Clinics Ltd at Companies House.
Accounts and filing history
The company's most recent accounts were made up to 31 August 2024 and filed as total-exemption-full accounts, a format available to smaller companies meeting certain size thresholds. Those accounts were next due at Companies House by 31 May 2026, a date that falls just days before the CVL resolution was published.
The company had no previous registered names and no supplemental notices appear alongside the winding-up resolution in the Gazette.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Illuminate Skin Clinics 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 Illuminate Skin Clinics 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 Illuminate Skin Clinics 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 Illuminate Skin Clinics 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.
