Members of David Antony Limited resolved on 28 May 2026 that the company could not continue by reason of its liabilities, appointing Chris Parkman of Purnells as liquidator at the same meeting.
The resolution and the appointment were both published in the London Gazette on 29 May 2026. A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's own members at the request of its directors, without a court order.
The resolution
A general meeting of the members, held remotely on Thursday 28 May 2026, passed a special resolution confirming that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business and that it was advisable to wind it up voluntarily. An ordinary resolution at the same meeting nominated Parkman as liquidator for the purpose of the winding-up. David Hyde chaired the meeting.
The liquidator appointment
Chris Parkman, whose IP number is 9588, is a licensed insolvency practitioner at Purnells. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. Parkman can be contacted at Unit 5a, Kernick Industrial Estate, Penryn, Cornwall TR10 9EP. His appointment took effect on 28 May 2026 and was made by the members.
The company
David Antony Limited was incorporated on 13 February 2002 and traded in hairdressing and other beauty treatment from its registered office at 149 Winter Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO4 8DR, which was also its principal trading address.
The director at the time of the resolution was David Eric Hyde, appointed on 27 February 2002. Deborah Yvonne Hyde has served as company secretary since the same date. Neither holds a resigned status on the Companies House record. Form 10 Directors FD Ltd and Form 10 Secretaries FD Ltd were each appointed and resigned on 13 and 18 February 2002 respectively, a standard incorporation arrangement.
No secured charges are registered against the company. The most recent accounts filed at Companies House were made up to 28 February 2025, prepared on a total-exemption-full basis.
Common questions
Are you owed money by David Antony 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 David Antony 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 David Antony 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 David Antony 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.
