Retail Technology Services Ltd, registered at Brooke House, 4 The Lakes, Northampton, NN4 7YD, has passed a resolution to enter creditors' voluntary liquidation. The notice appeared in the London Gazette on 8 June 2026.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. By volume, it is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency.
The resolution
The Gazette notice records the company's address as Brooke House, 4 The Lakes, Northampton. No further details, including the appointment of a liquidator, appear in the published notice at this stage.
What happens next
Once a liquidator is formally appointed, they take control of the company's affairs, realise its assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set out in insolvency law. Creditors wishing to submit a claim will need to file a proof of debt with the appointed liquidator once that appointment is confirmed.
The company's full filing history is available through Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by this company?
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 this company?
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 this company?
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 this company?
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.
