The liquidation
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.

Wayne MacPherson (IP number 9445) and Louise Donna Baxter (IP number 009123), both of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, based at 1066 London Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 3NA, were appointed joint liquidators. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners whose IP numbers identify them with their respective recognised professional bodies.
The director
Jonathan James Hamilton-Smith has been a director of Rockwells SWS Limited since incorporation on 12 October 2018. Companies House records show no resignation on file, and Hamilton-Smith remains listed as the sole current officer.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Rockwells SWS Limited at Companies House, meaning no secured creditors hold a prior claim over the company's assets ahead of the liquidation process.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Rockwells Sws 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 Rockwells Sws 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 Rockwells Sws 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 Rockwells Sws 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.
