Members of National Car Parks Group Limited resolved on 12 May 2026 to wind the company up by way of a creditors' voluntary liquidation, a formal insolvent winding-up process concluded without a court order. The resolution confirmed that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business.
Victoria Hatton and Mark James Tobias Banfield of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were appointed joint liquidators on the same date. Hatton, who holds IP number 28170, is based at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's Leeds office at Central Square, 29 Wellington Street. Banfield, IP number 23350, operates from the firm's London office at 7 More London Riverside. Where two or more licensed insolvency practitioners are appointed jointly, either may generally act alone unless the appointment specifies otherwise.
The Gazette notice was signed by H Nagahiro as director.
The company
National Car Parks Group Limited is classified under SIC code 74990, covering other professional, scientific and technical activities not elsewhere classified.

It was renamed Pointeuro II Limited from 9 June 1998, and took the National Car Parks Group Limited name from 18 March 2003. Its registered address at the time of the resolution was The Bailey, 16 Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7EG.

Common questions
Are you owed money by National Car Parks Group 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 National Car Parks Group 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 National Car Parks Group 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 National Car Parks Group 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.
