The resolution
A general meeting of the members, held remotely on Wednesday 10 June 2026, passed two resolutions: a special resolution to wind the company up voluntarily, and an ordinary resolution appointing Horner as liquidator. A creditors' voluntary liquidation, often referred to as a CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order.
The resolutions were signed by Sophia Kum Yoke Lum in her capacity as director.
The liquidator appointment
Horner holds IP number 16150 and is based at 47-49 Duke Street, Darlington, County Durham DL3 7SD. He was appointed by both members and creditors on 10 June 2026. His role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors. Creditors or other interested parties can contact Horner's office by telephone on 01325 365950 or by email at admin@businessrescueexpert.co.uk.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Anthony Lum & Co 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 Anthony Lum & Co 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 Anthony Lum & Co 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 Anthony Lum & Co 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.
