Members of Greentown Construction Services Limited resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 15 May 2026, with Kirren Keegan and Paul Bailey of Bailey Ahmad Limited, trading as BABR, confirmed as joint liquidators the same afternoon by a creditors meeting.
The London-based developer of building projects, registered at 167-169 Great Portland Street, had been incorporated in October 2018. Its registered office is being changed to Sussex Innovation Centre, Science Park Square, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 9SB, the address of the appointed liquidators.
The resolution
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume. At an extraordinary general meeting on 15 May 2026, members passed a special resolution and an ordinary resolution to wind the company up voluntarily and to appoint Keegan and Bailey as joint liquidators. Creditors confirmed the appointment at a virtual meeting held the same day at 2.45pm.
Barry Michael O'Neill, who chaired the meeting, is the sole current director of Greentown Construction Services Limited. He was appointed on 2 October 2018 and is listed as resident in Ireland. David James Ritchie was also a director from incorporation but resigned on 14 January 2020.
The liquidator appointment
Kirren Keegan, IP number 27012, and Paul Bailey, IP number 9428, are both of Bailey Ahmad Limited, trading as BABR, at Sussex Innovation Centre, Science Park Square, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 9SB. Joint liquidators are two or more insolvency practitioners appointed to act together to realise a company's assets and distribute proceeds to creditors. The date of appointment is recorded as 15 May 2026, with the appointment made by members and creditors.

Background
The CVL follows a winding-up petition presented on 25 February 2026 by the Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs, listing the company's address at the time as 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London. A winding-up petition is a court filing asking a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation; it does not itself wind the company up. The petition was given a hearing date of 20 May 2026. The members' resolution to enter CVL on 15 May 2026 came before that hearing, rendering the petition moot. The company's last filed accounts covered the period to 31 December 2024 and were prepared on a micro-entity basis.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Greentown Construction Services 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 Greentown Construction Services 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 Greentown Construction Services 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 Greentown Construction Services 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.
