Members of Oval (2042) Limited resolved on 12 May 2026 to wind the company up by creditors' voluntary liquidation, a form of insolvent winding-up initiated by a company's members without a court order. Victoria Hatton and Mark James Tobias Banfield of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were appointed joint liquidators on the same date.
The resolution, passed as both a special resolution and an ordinary resolution at a general meeting of members, confirmed that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business. H Nagahiro, a current director, signed the resolution.

Hatton holds IP number 28170 and is based at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's Leeds office at Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL. Banfield holds IP number 23350 and works from the firm's London office at 7 More London Riverside, SE1 2RT. As joint liquidators, either may act independently unless the terms of appointment specify otherwise. Creditors and other parties can contact the firm on 0113 289 4043 or at uk_ncpcvls@pwc.com.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Oval (2042) 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 Oval (2042) 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 Oval (2042) 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 Oval (2042) 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.
