M.K.M. Building Supplies Limited, a Hull-based supplier, presented a winding-up petition against LPJ Developments Ltd on 20 April 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the Middlesbrough property developer. The petition carries case number CR-2026-LDS-000390 and was filed at the High Court of Justice.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing the petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first hear the matter and make an order.
The company
LPJ Developments Ltd is registered at Beaumont Accountancy, 1st Floor Enterprise House, 202-206 Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough, TS1 3QW. Companies House classifies its business as the development of building projects. The company was incorporated on 2 June 2015 and its status at Companies House remains active.
Leon White has been the sole director since incorporation on 2 June 2015.
The petition
M.K.M. Building Supplies Limited is based at Stoneferry Road, Hull, HU8 8DE. The petitioner's solicitor is LCF Law Limited of 33 Park Place, Leeds, LS1 2RY, with the matter handled by Andrew Langton.
The petition is listed to be heard at the Business and Property Courts in Leeds, Fourth Floor, West Gate, 6 Grace Street, Leeds, LS1 2RP on Tuesday 23 June 2026 at 10:00, or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard. Anyone intending to appear at that hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or their solicitor by 16:00 on Monday 22 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.

The first, created on 25 July 2023, covers freehold land and buildings on the east side of Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough. Two further charges, both created on 22 July 2022, cover the freehold property known as 4A, 4B, 4C and Jayden House, Granville Road, Middlesbrough, along with a broader charge over all present and future freehold and leasehold properties and the company's intellectual property.
Together Commercial Finance Limited holds the remaining three charges. These cover Jayden House at 2-4 Granville Road, Middlesbrough, created in February 2021; the Granville Road garages; and the 2-4 Granville Road property itself, with the latter two both created in March 2018.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Lpj Developments Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Lpj Developments 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 Lpj Developments 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 Lpj Developments 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 Lpj Developments 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.
