Stephen Mark Powell and Julie Anne Palmer of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP were appointed joint liquidators to Ignite Consulting Ltd on 17 June 2026, beginning a creditors' voluntary liquidation for the London management consultancy.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. In this case, the appointment was made by both members and creditors.
The company
Ignite Consulting Ltd was incorporated on 18 December 2002 and carried out management consultancy activities other than financial management, the classification used by Companies House for its principal trade. Its registered office is at 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX. The company filed total-exemption full accounts made up to 31 December 2024.
The liquidators
Powell holds IP number 009561 and Palmer holds IP number 008835. Both practise from BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, based at Units 1-3 Hilltop Business Park, Devizes Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire. As joint liquidators, either may act independently unless the terms of the appointment specify otherwise. Their role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors.
Officers at the time of liquidation
Mark Graham Long has served as both director and company secretary since incorporation on 18 December 2002. Mark Robert Smith has been a director since 31 October 2007. Both remain current officers at the time of the notice.
Timothy Connolly served as a director from 1 September 2004 until his resignation on 21 June 2012. David Mullin was a director from 22 November 2021 until he resigned on 16 April 2024.
Form 10 Directors FD Ltd and Form 10 Secretaries FD Ltd each held nominee roles from the date of incorporation but resigned two days later on 20 December 2002, a standard arrangement used when incorporating a company through a formation agent. Gillian Margaret Long served as secretary from incorporation until 14 August 2008.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Ignite Consulting Ltd at Companies House.
Creditors of Ignite Consulting Ltd who have not yet submitted a claim should contact the joint liquidators at BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP in Salisbury. The appointment was published in the London Gazette on 22 June 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Ignite Consulting 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 Ignite Consulting 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 Ignite Consulting 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 Ignite Consulting 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.
