The Business and Property Courts in Manchester made a winding-up order against Apollo Renewable Installations Ltd on 26 May 2026, placing the Ringwood-based electrical installation contractor into compulsory liquidation under case number 000384 of 2026. The company had been incorporated only in August 2023.
A winding-up order places a company into compulsory liquidation, meaning its assets are realised and distributed to creditors under the supervision of a liquidator. The Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders, was appointed on the same day the order was made. The Official Receiver in this case is K Jackson, based at PO Box 16660, Birmingham, B2 2HE.
The company
Apollo Renewable Installations Ltd operated from Unit C1, Platinum Jubilee Business Park, Hopclover Way, Ringwood, BH24 3FW. Its registered SIC code covers electrical installation work. The company filed its last accounts to 31 October 2024 on a total-exemption-full basis, available through Companies House. A petition to wind the company up was filed on 4 March 2026, nearly three months before the order was granted.
The directors
Luke Edward Butler was appointed as a director at incorporation on 29 August 2023 and remained in post at the time of the order. Matthew Alan Sandom joined as a director on 13 August 2025 and was also current at the time of the order.
Several directors had left the company before the petition was filed. Richard William Orchard served as a director from 2 October 2023 and resigned on 2 July 2024. Jamie Liam Gibson held two separate directorships: the first ran from 29 August 2023 to 11 October 2024, and the second from 24 January 2025 to 21 July 2025. Nathan Sidney Shepherd similarly served two periods as a director, from 16 February 2024 to 16 September 2024, and again from 24 February 2025 to 15 January 2026. James Stephen Ward was a director from incorporation until 24 October 2025.
Secured charges
One outstanding registered charge appears on the Companies House record. Apollo Business Finance Limited holds a charge created and delivered on 27 February 2026, roughly five weeks before the winding-up petition was filed.

Did you work at Apollo Renewable Installations Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Apollo Renewable Installations Limited?
Customers 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 Apollo Renewable Installations Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
