The High Court of Justice ordered the compulsory liquidation of Cardinal Logistics and Solutions Limited on 17 June 2026, less than 19 months after the company was incorporated, following a petition filed by HMRC on 21 April 2026.
The case, numbered 003186 of 2026, produced a winding-up order, which places a company into compulsory liquidation, the most coercive form of corporate insolvency. From the date of the order, the company's assets pass to a liquidator, who realises those assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors.
The company
Cardinal Logistics and Solutions Limited was registered at 187 Graham Road, London, E8 1PD. Its SIC codes cover two activities: courier operations and the supply of labour. The company was incorporated on 27 November 2024 and had not yet filed its first accounts, which were not due until August 2026, when the court made its order.
The petitioner
HMRC is named as the petitioner in court records, a role it takes when a company owes tax debts it has not settled after repeated demands. The petition was filed on 21 April 2026 and the matter was heard and concluded at the High Court on 17 June 2026.
The liquidator
The Official Receiver, the civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders, was appointed on 17 June 2026. The Official Receiver handling the case is S Brindley, based at PO Box 16651, Birmingham, B2 2HQ. Creditors or others with queries can contact the office by telephone on 0300 678 0016 or by email at EastMidlands.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.
The directors
Companies House records show two directors on the register. Sara Thurman was appointed on 1 April 2025 and remains the current director. Ruzhdi Bolgurov served as a director from the date of incorporation, 27 November 2024, and resigned on 1 April 2025, the same day Thurman was appointed.
No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, and no other insolvency practitioners have been appointed alongside the Official Receiver.

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 Cardinal Logistics and Solutions 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 Cardinal Logistics and Solutions 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.
