Yu Energy Retail Limited has filed a winding-up petition against K D Drinks Ltd, a Leicester bar and pub operator registered at 234 Green Lane Road, Leicester, LE5 4PA. The High Court has listed a hearing for 24 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation -- liquidation imposed by court order rather than by a resolution of the company's own members. Filing the petition does not put K D Drinks Ltd into liquidation; the court must first make an order at the hearing.
The petition
Yu Energy Retail Limited, registered at CPK House, 2 Horizon Place, Nottingham Business Park, Mellors Way, Nottingham, NG8 6PY, presented the petition on 5 May 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the company. The petition was dated 8 June 2026 and published in the London Gazette on 10 June 2026.
The case carries court number CR-2026-003384 and is listed before the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications. The hearing is scheduled for 10:30 on Wednesday 24 June 2026 at 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane, London, EC4A 1NL.
Yu Energy Retail's postal address for its legal team is given in the notice as The Energy Centre, 2 Northgate Street, Leicester, LE3 5BZ.
Any creditor or other party intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice by 16:00 on the day before the hearing, in line with rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.
The company
K D Drinks Ltd was incorporated on 13 January 2015 and operates under SIC code 56302, which covers public houses and bars. The company filed its last accounts to 31 March 2023 on a micro-entity basis.
Kamaljit Singh Dhillon has been the sole director since incorporation on 13 January 2015. Companies House lists no secured charges against K D Drinks Ltd.
The company's status at Companies House remains active at the time of publication. The hearing on 24 June 2026 will determine whether a winding-up order is made.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for K D Drinks Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. K D Drinks Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by K D Drinks Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at K D Drinks Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of K D Drinks Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
