Lokus Energy Limited, formerly Mask Mania Ltd and Loku Ltd, has been wound up by court order dated 2 June 2026. Full notice and Companies House record.
Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
The High Court issued a winding-up order against Lokus Energy Limited on 2 June 2026, placing the Manchester-based energy company into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is the court-imposed form of winding up, as distinct from a voluntary process resolved by a company's own members.
The order, filed at Companies House as case number 002734, closes a company that had already faced a winding-up petition from UK Environmental Limited. A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking a judge to wind a company up. That earlier petition was withdrawn on 12 May 2025, according to case records, but the company subsequently faced the court order in June this year.
The company
Lokus Energy Limited was incorporated on 6 August 2020 and is registered at Piccadilly Business Centre, Unit C, Aldow Enterprise Park, Blacket St, Manchester, M12 6AE. Its SIC codes cover manufacture of ovens, furnaces and furnace burners, manufacture of lifting and handling equipment, and other manufacturing categories.
The company has traded under two earlier names. It was incorporated as Mask Mania Ltd on 6 August 2020, changed its name to Loku Ltd on 14 October 2020, and adopted the Lokus Energy Limited name on 15 February 2021. Its most recent accounts were made up to 30 August 2025 and filed as micro-entity accounts.
The officers
Naeem Abbass is the current director, having been appointed on 12 October 2020. Jamie Gordon served as both a director and the company secretary from incorporation on 6 August 2020, resigning from both roles on 12 October 2020.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Lokus Energy Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Lokus Energy Limited?
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 Lokus Energy 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 Lokus Energy 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.
