A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up initiated by a company's own members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The liquidator appointment
Yiannis Koumettou, holding IP number 15676, and Ninos Koumettou, holding IP number 2240, were appointed joint liquidators by the members and creditors. Both practise from BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP at the Northampton address. Joint liquidators are two or more licensed insolvency practitioners appointed to act together, though either may usually act alone.

Background
A winding-up petition against Argon Movers and Storage Ltd was presented on 17 February 2026 by Algeco UK Limited, of Ravenstock House, 28 Falcon Court, Preston Farm Business Park, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 3TX, which claimed to be a creditor of the company. That petition was listed to be heard at the Rolls Building in London.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation; it does not itself put the company into liquidation. The CVL appointment on 20 May 2026 came before any court-ordered outcome.
The directors
Marios Hadjimichael has been a director since 8 July 2013 and remained in post at the time of the liquidation. Ioannis Hadjimichael served as a director from 1 August 2012 until 8 July 2013. Victoria Hadjimichael held the director role from the date of incorporation, 12 July 2012, until 1 August 2012.
No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Argon Movers and Storage 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 Argon Movers and Storage 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 Argon Movers and Storage 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 Argon Movers and Storage 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.
