Delaval Arms Pub Company Ltd, which traded as The Delaval Arms, passed a resolution for a creditors' voluntary liquidation on 18 May 2026, just over three years after it was incorporated in March 2023.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the most common route into formal insolvency for UK limited companies.
The liquidators
Christopher John Ferguson and Manjit Shokar, both of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors Limited on Gosforth Park Avenue, Newcastle upon Tyne, were appointed joint liquidators by the members and creditors. Ferguson holds IP number 22890 and Shokar holds IP number 23790. The registered office has moved to the firm's Newcastle address at NE12 8EG following the appointment.
The company's registered address at Companies House is Suite C The Quadrant, 99 Parkway Avenue, Sheffield, S9 4WG.
The company
Delaval Arms Pub Company Ltd was incorporated on 17 March 2023 and operated in the public houses and bars sector under SIC code 56302. The company filed its most recent accounts made up to 31 March 2025 on a total exemption full basis, the simplified filing route available to smaller companies.
Christopher Stewart Bremner was appointed as a director on the date of incorporation and remains the sole director on record at Companies House. No resignations are recorded against his appointment.
No secured charges are registered against the company, so creditors rank as unsecured in the liquidation.
The Gazette notice was published on 27 May 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Delaval Arms Pub Company 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 Delaval Arms Pub Company 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 Delaval Arms Pub Company 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 Delaval Arms Pub Company 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.
