A Teddington pet grooming company incorporated in June 2022 has been wound up through a creditors' voluntary liquidation. Natalie Hughes of Simply Corporate Limited was appointed liquidator by creditors on 20 May 2026.
Hayward's Dog Grooming Ltd was registered at 50 Broad Street, Teddington, TW11 8QY and operated under SIC code 96090, which covers other service activities not elsewhere classified. The company had been trading for less than four years when it entered the CVL process.
The liquidation
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
Hayward's Dog Grooming Ltd's registered office is being changed from the Teddington address to Simply Corporate Limited, The Town Hall, Burnley Road, Padiham, BB12 8BS. This is standard practice once a liquidator takes control of a company's affairs.
The company's last accounts on record at Companies House were made up to 30 June 2024, filed as total exemption full accounts.
The liquidator
Natalie Hughes, holding IP number 14336, is the appointed liquidator. Hughes practises from Simply Corporate Limited, based at The Town Hall, Burnley Road, Padiham, BB12 8BS. The appointment was made by creditors, as recorded in the notice published in the London Gazette on 29 May 2026.
The officers
Sarah Louise King has been the sole director of Hayward's Dog Grooming Ltd since the company's incorporation on 17 June 2022. No resignation has been recorded against King's appointment, meaning she remained a current director at the time the CVL was resolved. No company secretary is listed on the Companies House record.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Hayward's Dog Grooming Ltd at Companies House. There are therefore no secured creditors with priority claims over the company's assets ahead of unsecured creditors in the liquidation.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Hayward'S Dog Grooming 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 Hayward'S Dog Grooming 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 Hayward'S Dog Grooming 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 Hayward'S Dog Grooming 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.
