Darril Scott Kevin Edwards, the sole director of CT11 Construction & Developments Ltd, has filed a Rule 22.4 prohibited-name notice stating his intention to carry on the business under the near-identical name CT11 Construction Ltd after the Northampton construction company entered insolvent liquidation on 29 May 2026.
What the notice means
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 prohibits a director of a company that has entered insolvent liquidation from being involved in another company using the same or a similar name for five years, unless one of the statutory exceptions applies. Without such an exception, acting as a director of, or being involved in the management of, a similarly named company is a criminal offence and can expose the individual to personal liability for the new company's debts.
The Rule 22.4 notice is one of those exceptions. By giving written notice to every known creditor of CT11 Construction & Developments Ltd and publishing the notice in the London Gazette within 28 days of acquiring the business, Edwards may act in connection with CT11 Construction Ltd without committing an offence under section 216(3).
The company
CT11 Construction & Developments Ltd was incorporated on 19 February 2020 and registered at Suite 501, Unit 2, 94a Wycliffe Road, Northampton, NN1 5JF. Its registered SIC codes cover development of building projects and construction of domestic buildings. Edwards was appointed director on the date of incorporation and holds that role, with no resignation recorded at Companies House. No secured charges are registered against the company.
The director
Edwards is recorded in the notice as having been a director of CT11 Construction & Developments Ltd throughout the 12 months ending with the day before the company went into insolvent liquidation. The notice states that he intends to act in all or any of the ways specified in section 216(3) in connection with carrying on the whole or substantially the whole of the business of the insolvent company under the CT11 Construction Ltd name.
Publication and creditor notification
The London Gazette publication on 29 May 2026 satisfies the statutory publication requirement. Under the rules, notice must also be given to every creditor of the insolvent company whose name and address is known or ascertainable on making reasonable enquiries. Both the creditor notification and the Gazette publication must be completed no later than 28 days after the acquisition of the business is completed under arrangements made by the liquidator or other office holder.
Common questions
Are you a director of the successor company?
A prohibited-name Gazette notice typically documents one of the three statutory exceptions to Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the rule against re-use of a similar name by a former director of a liquidated company). The exception is only valid if the notice meets the timing and content requirements in the relevant Rule. Read more on prohibited names.
Do you trade with the successor company?
A valid notice does not by itself revive the liabilities of the liquidated company. The successor company is a separate legal entity and the directors are personally exposed only if Section 216 is breached.
