The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Boarco Ltd on 10 June 2026, placing the Dartford-registered online retailer into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is imposed by a court order, as distinct from a voluntary winding-up resolved by the company's own members.
A winding-up petition had been lodged on 16 April 2026. The court sealed the order under case number 002993 of 2026.
The company
Boarco Ltd was incorporated on 5 March 2019 and traded under SIC code 47910, which covers retail sale via mail order or the internet. Its registered office is at Adams and Moore House, Instone Road, Dartford, Kent, DA1 2AG. The company filed its last accounts to 31 March 2025 on a total exemption full basis, available through Companies House.
The liquidator
K Jackson of the Official Receiver's office was appointed liquidator on the date the order was made. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders. Jackson's office is at PO Box 16660, Birmingham, B2 2HE, and can be reached by telephone on 0300 678 0016 or by email at London2.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.
The director
Kestutis Ciukas has been the sole director of Boarco Ltd since incorporation on 5 March 2019. No resignation is recorded at Companies House, meaning Ciukas held the role at the time the order was made. No company secretary is listed.
Secured creditors
No secured charges are registered against Boarco Ltd at Companies House, so no secured creditor holds a formal claim over the company's assets ahead of the general body of creditors.
Creditors wishing to engage with the liquidation can contact the Official Receiver's office using the details published in the London Gazette notice.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Boarco Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Boarco Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Boarco Limited?
Customers 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 Boarco Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
