Radley + Co. Limited has filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator at Leeds Companies Court, with Katten Muchin Rosenman UK named as proposed administrators in the filing dated 26 May 2026.
The case is registered under number CR-2026-LDS-000543 in the Companies list at the court. Filing a notice of intention is a formal step that precedes a full administration appointment and automatically triggers a paragraph 26 moratorium under Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986, the legislation governing administration in England and Wales. That moratorium places a legal pause on most creditor action, giving the company a short window to decide whether to proceed with a formal appointment.
Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners take control of a company to attempt to rescue it, sell it as a going concern, or realise its assets for creditors. The notice of intention does not itself place the company into administration; a separate appointment would need to follow.
The proposed administrators
Katten Muchin Rosenman UK is named in the court filing as the proposed administrators. The notice does not identify individual practitioners within the firm at this stage, and no IP numbers are recorded in the filing.
What the filing shows
The bundle contains no officer data, no registered charges and no secured lender information. The Companies House record for Radley + Co. Limited carries no SIC trade description or registered address in the data provided, so the precise nature of the company's business and its registered office cannot be determined from this filing alone.
No financial figures, creditor claims or employee numbers appear in the court filing. The notice lists Radley + Co. Limited as the sole named party, with Katten Muchin Rosenman UK in the solicitors and proposed administrators field.
The filing was made on 26 May 2026. Whether a formal administration appointment follows will depend on decisions taken by the directors and the proposed administrators during the moratorium period. If administrators are subsequently appointed, a further notice will be filed at the court and published in the London Gazette.
Creditors and connected parties should monitor Companies House and the Gazette for any follow-on appointment notice.
Common questions
What does a notice of intention mean for this company?
The company's directors (or a qualifying floating-charge holder) have filed at court a notice of intention to appoint administrators under paragraph 26 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986. this company is NOT yet in administration. A 10-business-day moratorium is in force during which most creditor enforcement is paused while the proposed administrators decide whether to formally accept the appointment. The matter may not progress to a formal administration appointment at all.
Are you owed money by this company?
You are not yet a creditor in an administration; the company is still trading subject to the moratorium. Most enforcement action -- including the issue or continuation of legal proceedings -- requires the court's permission while the moratorium is in force. If the appointment is formalised, you will become an unsecured creditor (unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title) and the appointed administrators will write to you with a proof-of-debt form. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at this company?
A notice of intention does not by itself terminate your employment. The company continues to trade through the moratorium and your wages should continue to be paid. If the company subsequently enters administration, your employment status will depend on the administrators' actions (continued trading vs. business sale vs. wind-down). Statutory claims from the Redundancy Payments Service become available only on actual insolvency.
Are you a director of a company connected to this company?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 has not yet engaged -- it applies on actual liquidation, not on a notice of intention. If the company subsequently enters administration and is later wound up, the five-year restriction on similar names may apply at that point.
