Casual Leopard Limited, a public house and bar operator registered at 28 Parsons Green Lane in south-west London, entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 15 June 2026, less than two years after it was incorporated in July 2024.
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
Darren Edwards of Exigen Group Limited trading as Liquidation Centre was appointed liquidator by the members and creditors. Edwards holds IP number 10350. Liquidation Centre is based at Warehouse W, 3 Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Docks, London, E16 1BD.
A liquidator is the licensed insolvency practitioner who realises a company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors during a liquidation. The role differs from that of an administrator, whose statutory duties run wider.
The company
Casual Leopard Limited was incorporated on 18 July 2024 and traded under SIC code 56302, which covers public houses and bars. Its registered office was 28 Parsons Green Lane, London, SW6 4HS. The company had no prior trading names on record at Companies House.
Accounts were next due on 18 April 2026, meaning the company had not filed its first set of statutory accounts before the liquidation appointment was made.
The director
Scott Hallsworth is the sole director on record, appointed on 18 July 2024, the same day the company was incorporated. No resignation has been recorded against his appointment.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Casual Leopard Limited at Companies House, meaning no secured creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
Creditors wishing to engage with the process can contact Edwards through Liquidation Centre at the Royal Victoria Docks address above. A proof of debt is the formal claim form a creditor submits to the liquidator to evidence the amount owed to them.
The appointment was published in the London Gazette on 23 June 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Casual Leopard 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 Casual Leopard 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 Casual Leopard 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 Casual Leopard 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.
