The Rainbow Medical Group Ltd, a Leicester medical care business incorporated in February 2023, entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 20 May 2026, less than three years after it was formed.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The liquidator
Richard Paul James Goodwin of Butcher Woods has been appointed liquidator, carrying IP number 9727. His appointment was confirmed on 20 May 2026, with the notice published in the London Gazette on 26 May 2026.
The company
The Rainbow Medical Group Ltd operated under SIC code 86220, which covers specialist medical practice activities. Its registered office is at The Oval, 57 New Walk, Leicester, LE1 7EA. The company was incorporated on 10 February 2023 and filed its most recent accounts as a micro-entity, made up to 31 March 2025.
The company carried no name history, meaning it traded throughout its short life under the Rainbow Medical Group name.
The directors
Two directors were in post at the time of the liquidation. Gurbinder Singh and Josep Maria Vilanova-Godia were both appointed on 10 February 2023, the date of incorporation, and neither had resigned before the CVL appointment was made. No secretary is recorded at Companies House.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against The Rainbow Medical Group Ltd at Companies House, meaning no creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
Creditors wishing to submit a claim should contact Butcher Woods directly. A proof of debt is the formal claim form a creditor submits to the liquidator evidencing the amount owed.
Common questions
Are you owed money by The Rainbow Medical Group 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 The Rainbow Medical Group 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 The Rainbow Medical Group 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 The Rainbow Medical Group 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.
