The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against T&C Travel Limited on 10 June 2026, placing the Littlehampton-based passenger transport operator into compulsory liquidation. A winding-up order requires a company's assets to be realised and distributed to creditors. The case, numbered 000045 of 2026, concluded proceedings that began when HMRC filed its petition on 6 January 2026.
T&C Travel Limited is registered at Office 31 Bizspace, Courtwick Lane, Wick, Littlehampton, BN17 7TL, and operates under SIC code 49390, which covers other passenger land transport not elsewhere classified. The company was incorporated on 26 February 2019.
The liquidator
J Peacock, the Official Receiver, was appointed liquidator on 10 June 2026, the same date as the winding-up order. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator when a winding-up order is made. Peacock can be reached at PO Box 16657, Birmingham, B2 2ER, by telephone on 0300 678 0016, or by email at SouthEast.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.
The directors
Two directors remain current at T&C Travel Limited. Yvonne Teresa Tye has been a director since the company's incorporation on 26 February 2019. Kenny Lawrence Tye was appointed on 5 July 2019. A third director, Peter Albert Cross, was also appointed on 5 July 2019 and resigned on 1 April 2020.
Regulatory background
The Traffic Commissioner for the South East previously called T&C Travel Limited and its transport manager to a public inquiry, according to a regulatory decision published on GOV.UK. The inquiry followed earlier compliance proceedings in February 2023. The company's operating licence was subsequently revoked after findings of non-compliance with regulatory standards.
Compulsory liquidation is the court-imposed route into insolvency, distinct from a creditors' voluntary liquidation, which is resolved by the company's own members without a court order. HMRC is among the most frequent petitioners for winding-up orders in England and Wales, typically pursuing companies where tax debts remain unpaid.
Creditors wishing to engage with the liquidation should contact the Official Receiver's office using the details above.
Common questions
Are you owed money by T&c Travel 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.

Did you work at T&c Travel 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 T&c Travel 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 T&c Travel 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.
