PricewaterhouseCoopers has been appointed joint liquidators to NCP Empire No.3 Limited, one of at least fourteen National Car Parks group companies that passed resolutions to enter creditors' voluntary liquidation on 12 May 2026.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The resolution
Members of NCP Empire No.3 passed a special resolution and an ordinary resolution at a general meeting on 12 May 2026, recording that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business. The resolutions took effect immediately and the liquidators were appointed on the same date.
The company's registered office is at The Bailey, 16 Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7EG. It was incorporated on 1 May 2002 under the name Puremost Limited and adopted its current name in November 2003. Companies House records classify it under SIC code 74990, a non-trading company designation, and its last filed accounts, made up to 30 September 2024, were filed on a dormant basis.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Ncp Empire No.3 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 Ncp Empire No.3 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 Ncp Empire No.3 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 Ncp Empire No.3 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.
