Robert Horton of R2 Advisory Limited was appointed liquidator to Barking Dog Developments Ltd, a Loughton-registered property development company formerly known as Dagger Developments Ltd, on 26 May 2026 under a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. The appointment was made by both members and creditors, according to the notice published in the London Gazette on 29 May 2026.
The liquidator
Horton holds IP number 8922 and practises from R2 Advisory Limited at 60 Cannon Street, London. The registered office of Barking Dog Developments Ltd has been updated to the same address following the appointment.
The company
Barking Dog Developments Ltd was incorporated on 23 October 2018 under the name Dagger Developments Ltd and changed its name on 9 August 2019. Before the liquidation, its registered business address was 9-11 High Beech Road, Loughton, England, IG10 4BN. Its sole recorded trade activity is the development of building projects, classified under SIC code 41100.
The directors
Kirk Stuart Pickering has been a director since 29 March 2021 and remains in office. Jago Sheldon Pickering served as a director from 13 January 2020 until he resigned on 12 December 2023. Kirk Stuart Pickering also held an earlier directorship from the date of incorporation on 23 October 2018 until 13 January 2020, before his current appointment.
Secured charges
Six registered charges remain outstanding and unsatisfied at the point of liquidation. Two are held by Castle Trust Capital PLC, both created on 31 August 2021 and delivered to Companies House on 2 September 2021. One of those charges covers a wide range of assets, including first legal mortgages over freehold, leasehold and commonhold property, fixed charges over goodwill, uncalled capital, equipment, intellectual property, book debts and investments.
The remaining four outstanding charges are held by Capitalstackers Trustees Limited, all created on 31 August 2021 and delivered on 1 September 2021. The charging instruments refer to security deeds for further detail.
Because six secured charges remain unsatisfied, Castle Trust Capital PLC and Capitalstackers Trustees Limited rank ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution of the company's assets. A secured creditor is one whose debt is backed by a charge over the company's assets, giving them priority in an insolvency.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Barking Dog Developments 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 Barking Dog Developments 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 Barking Dog Developments 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 Barking Dog Developments 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.
