NCP North East Limited is one of several National Car Parks group companies entering creditors' voluntary liquidation at the same time, with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP appointed to handle the winding-up on 12 May 2026.
Members passed a special resolution at a general meeting on that date, resolving that NCP North East Limited could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business. A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order.
The liquidators
Victoria Hatton, holding IP number 28170, and Mark James Tobias Banfield, holding IP number 23350, were appointed as joint liquidators. Both are partners at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Hatton is based at the firm's Central Square office at 29 Wellington Street, Leeds; Banfield operates from 7 More London Riverside in London. Joint liquidators are two or more insolvency practitioners appointed to act together, and either can usually act alone unless the appointment specifies otherwise.

The company
NCP North East Limited was incorporated on 8 June 1998, initially under the name Trushelfco (No.2390) Limited before adopting its current name later that year. Its SIC code classifies it as a non-trading company, and its most recent accounts, made up to 30 September 2024, were filed on a dormant basis. The registered office at the time of the resolution was The Bailey, 16 Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7EG.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers website lists NCP North East Limited alongside other National Car Parks entities undergoing CVL at the same time, including NCP North West Limited, NCP Northern Ireland Limited, NCP Scotland Limited, NCP South East and East Anglia Limited, NCP South England Limited, NCP South West and Wales Limited, NCP Holdco Limited, National Parking Corporation Limited and NCP Holdings Limited, among others.
Directors at the time of resolution
The resolution was signed by H Nagahiro, identified in the Gazette notice as a director of the company. Companies House records show Hideyuki Nagahiro was appointed as a director on 14 March 2024 and remained in post at the time of the winding-up. Masashi Sada, appointed as a director on 15 July 2025, also held office at the time of the resolution. Both are resident in England and the United Kingdom respectively.
Several directors served and resigned over the company's history. Robert Charles England served as a director from 17 December 2021 until his resignation on 27 October 2025. Hiroyasu Matsui held a directorship from 15 October 2018 until 15 July 2025. No company secretary was in office at the time of the resolution; the most recent secretary, Aaron Campbell, resigned on 3 August 2020.
Group context
The coordinated CVL sweep across the National Car Parks group amounts to a structured wind-down of non-trading holding and regional subsidiary entities. The dormant accounts filed by NCP North East Limited indicate the company held no active operations of its own at the point of liquidation. Hatton and Banfield's appointment across multiple group entities is consistent with a single-firm mandate to manage the process across the portfolio.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Ncp North East 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 North East 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 North East 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 North East 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.
