The High Court of Justice sealed a winding-up order against SKA Group Ltd on 24 June 2026, placing the Leeds management consultancy into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is a court-imposed process, distinct from a voluntary winding-up, in which a judge orders the dissolution of a company following a creditor's application.
The petition that triggered the order was filed on 5 May 2026. The court assigned case number 003492 of 2026.
The liquidator
The Official Receiver was appointed as liquidator on 24 June 2026, the same date as the order. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders. The notice names K Jackson as the relevant Official Receiver, a statutory civil-service appointment rather than a licensed insolvency practitioner. The office can be contacted at PO Box 16660, Birmingham, B2 2HE, by telephone on 0300 678 0016, or by email at London2.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Ska Group Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Ska Group Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Ska Group 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 Ska Group 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.
