The Business and Property Courts in Manchester made a winding-up order against Brands Hatch Performance Limited on 9 June 2026, placing the London-registered motor parts and accessories retailer into compulsory liquidation. A winding-up order ends a company's existence and hands control of its assets to a liquidator, who realises those assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors.
The case was filed under number 000561 of 2026. A petition had been lodged on 7 April 2026, more than two months before the court made its order.
The liquidator
S Brindley of the Official Receiver's Birmingham office was appointed liquidator on 9 June 2026, the same date as the order. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders. Brindley can be reached at PO Box 18938, Birmingham, B2 2DY, by telephone on 0300 678 0016, or by email at Enquiries.Liquidation@insolvency.gov.uk.

Brands Hatch Performance Limited was incorporated on 8 May 2013 and traded under SIC code 45310, covering retail of motor vehicle parts and accessories. Its registered office is listed at 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. The company's last filed accounts were made up to 31 May 2022; the next set had been due by 31 May 2024.
The directors
Clinton Amos Gaskin has been a director since incorporation on 8 May 2013 and held that position at the time of the order. Morgan Eloise Gaskin served two separate terms as a director: first from 18 April 2014 until 9 August 2018, then again from 18 March 2019 until her resignation on 3 April 2024.
Secured charges
Two outstanding registered charges sit against the company. Paragon Business Finance PLC holds a charge created on 13 October 2022 and delivered to Companies House on 17 October 2022. That charge covers freehold and leasehold property, buildings and fixtures, fixed plant and equipment, and a range of intellectual property including goodwill, brand names, trademarks, patents, copyrights and computer software. Asset Advantage Limited holds a second charge, created and delivered on 21 July 2022. Both charges remain outstanding and will be dealt with in the course of the liquidation.
The winding-up order was published in the London Gazette on 14 June 2026.

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 Brands Hatch Performance 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 Brands Hatch Performance 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.
