Members of Pro Ventilation Systems Ltd resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 17 June 2026, with Jamie Playford of Leading appointed liquidator the same day. A creditors' voluntary liquidation is the most common form of insolvent winding-up in England and Wales, resolved by a company's members without a court order.
The Watford-based business carried out plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation work from its registered address at 20 Pumphouse Crescent, Watford, WD17 2AA. It was incorporated on 30 July 2019. Both the resolution and the appointment were published in the London Gazette on 19 June 2026.
The resolution
A general meeting of members was convened and held at the company's registered office on 17 June 2026. Two resolutions were passed: a special resolution confirming that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business and should be wound up voluntarily; and an ordinary resolution naming Playford as liquidator. Dragos Iacob chaired the meeting.
The liquidator appointment
Playford, who holds IP number 9735, is based at Leading, Lawrence House, 5 St Andrews Hill, Norwich, NR2 1AD. His appointment was made by members and creditors. Anyone seeking further details can contact the firm on 01603 552028.
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the liquidator's role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order set out by insolvency law. Unsecured creditors, those whose debts are not backed by a charge over the company's assets, rank behind any secured creditors and the costs of the liquidation itself.
The company and its director
Pro Ventilation Systems Ltd traded under SIC code 43220, covering plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, and there is no prior name history on record.
Dragos Iacob has been the sole director since incorporation on 30 July 2019. The company's most recent accounts were made up to 31 July 2025 and were filed as total-exemption-full accounts, a format available to smaller companies meeting certain size thresholds.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Pro Ventilation Systems 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 Pro Ventilation Systems 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 Pro Ventilation Systems 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 Pro Ventilation Systems 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.
