Joint liquidators Christopher John Ferguson and Manjit Shokar of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors Limited were appointed to Valeco Recruitment Ltd on 24 June 2026, beginning a creditors' voluntary liquidation of the Bolton-based employment placement agency.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. The appointment was made by both members and creditors.
The company
Valeco Recruitment Ltd was incorporated on 12 September 2016 and operated under SIC code 78109, covering other activities of employment placement agencies. Its registered address at Companies House is 1-3 The Courtyard, Calvin Street, Bolton, BL1 8PB. The registered office in the Gazette notice has since moved to the liquidators' premises at Gosforth Park Avenue, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 8EG.
The company filed its last accounts made up to 30 June 2025 under the total exemption full regime, available to smaller companies.
The liquidators
Ferguson holds IP number 22890 and Shokar holds IP number 23790. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body, identifying the individual practitioner. Both are based at RMT Accountants & Business Advisors Limited in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Officers
Valerie Cowan has been a director of Valeco Recruitment Ltd since its incorporation on 12 September 2016 and remains the sole current director. Hilton Lord Associates Ltd was corporate secretary from incorporation but resigned on 6 September 2024.
Secured charges
One outstanding charge is registered against Valeco Recruitment Ltd. Hilton Lord Associates Ltd holds a registered charge created on 5 February 2018 and delivered to Companies House on 20 February 2018. The same entity had previously served as the company's corporate secretary before resigning in September 2024, meaning Hilton Lord Associates Ltd held both a secretarial role and a registered security interest over the company's assets.
Creditors wishing to submit a claim should contact the joint liquidators at RMT Accountants & Business Advisors Limited, Gosforth Park Avenue, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 8EG. The Gazette notice reference is Ag RK32919.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Valeco Recruitment 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 Valeco Recruitment 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 Valeco Recruitment 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 Valeco Recruitment 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.
