The Business and Property Courts in Leeds made a winding-up order against VMGS Installations Ltd on 26 May 2026, placing the Leicestershire removal and storage company into compulsory liquidation under case number CR-2026-LDS-000358. Compulsory liquidation is court-imposed and distinct from a voluntary process.
The petition was filed on 8 April 2026 by Righton and Blackburns Limited. The Official Receiver was appointed liquidator on the same day the order was made. As a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, the Official Receiver takes office automatically on most winding-up orders. The office is contactable at PO Box 16651, Birmingham, B2 2HQ, or via the East Midlands office at EastMidlands.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.
The company
VMGS Installations Ltd was incorporated on 5 July 2017 and operated under SIC code 49420, which covers removal and storage services. Its registered office is Unit 8 The Courtyard, Gaulby Lane, Stoughton, Leicestershire, LE2 2FL. The company filed its last accounts to 31 July 2024, prepared on a total-exemption-full basis.
The directors
Three directors were current at the time of the order. Louise Mardon has been a director since 2 March 2018. Mark McIntyre joined the board on 3 March 2021. Kenneth Mardon was appointed on 9 October 2023, having previously served as a director from incorporation in July 2017 until March 2018. Kerry McIntyre served as a director between 2 March 2018 and 3 March 2021 and is now a former director.
Secured charge
An outstanding charge in favour of Bizcap Limited, created on 22 September 2025 and delivered to Companies House on 24 September 2025, covers a general fixed and floating charge over all assets of the company. A floating charge sits over assets that change from time to time and crystallises on insolvency, attaching at that point to whatever assets then exist. Bizcap Limited ranks as a secured creditor ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution of assets.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Vmgs Installations 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 Vmgs Installations 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 Vmgs Installations 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 Vmgs Installations 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.
