An Italian supplier has taken Organic Globe Ltd, a Manchester-based agent in food services and the sale of particular products, to the High Court. Novi S.R.L. filed a winding-up petition on 5 May 2026.
Novi S.R.L., registered at Via Giovanni XXIII 62, Scafati, Italy, presented the petition at 13:13 that day, claiming to be a creditor of the company. The case was assigned court number CR-2026-003345 in the Business and Property Courts Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make that order at a hearing. The petition is listed to be heard at the Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London, on Wednesday 24 June 2026 at 10:30, or as soon thereafter as it can be heard.
Anyone intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its solicitors by 16:00 on Tuesday 23 June 2026. Novi S.R.L. is represented by Coltman Warner Cranston LLP, based at the Coventry Innovation Village, Cheetah Road, Coventry.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Organic Globe Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Organic Globe Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Organic Globe Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Organic Globe Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Organic Globe Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
