Premiere Personnel Ltd, a Sheffield-based temporary employment agency, entered a creditors' voluntary liquidation on 22 May 2026. Laura Anne Walshe of Keywood Group Limited was appointed liquidator by the company's members and creditors.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's 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
Walshe holds IP number 26250 and is based at Keywood Group Limited, Gill House, 140 Holyhead Road, Birmingham, West Midlands. Her appointment was made jointly by the members and creditors of Premiere Personnel.
The company
Premiere Personnel Ltd operated as a temporary employment agency under SIC code 78200, providing temporary staffing activities. The company was incorporated on 8 January 2015 and registered its office at 04 Park Square, Thorncliffe Business Park, Sheffield, S35 2PH. Its last accounts on record were made up to 31 January 2025.
Dariusz Ciomek has been the sole director since incorporation on 8 January 2015 and remains in that role.
Secured charges
Three outstanding charges registered in favour of HSBC entities complicate the realisation of assets for unsecured creditors. A secured creditor is one whose debt is backed by a charge over the company's assets, ranking ahead of unsecured creditors when proceeds are distributed.
The earliest charge was created on 1 July 2015 and is held by HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd. A second charge, held by HSBC Bank PLC and created on 22 September 2015, covers a fixed and floating charge over all assets. A floating charge is a form of security over assets that change from time to time, such as stock, debtors and cash, which crystallises on insolvency.
The most recent charge, held by HSBC UK Bank PLC, was created on 5 February 2024 and takes the form of a legal assignment of contract monies. All three charges remain outstanding at the date of the CVL appointment.
The liquidator's role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors. The three HSBC entities, as secured creditors, will rank ahead of any unsecured creditors in that distribution.
The notice was published in the London Gazette on 28 May 2026. Creditors wishing to make a claim should contact Keywood Group Limited at the Birmingham address.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Premiere Personnel 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 Premiere Personnel 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 Premiere Personnel 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 Premiere Personnel 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.
