The High Court has made a winding-up order against Ewen Support Services Limited, placing the Sheffield mechanical components manufacturer into compulsory liquidation under case No 002236 of 2026.
Compulsory liquidation is a court-ordered winding-up, distinct from a creditors' voluntary liquidation in which the company's own members resolve to wind up. From the date of a winding-up order, the company's assets pass to a liquidator -- a licensed insolvency practitioner or the Official Receiver -- who realises those assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors.
The company
Ewen Support Services Limited was incorporated on 11 May 2021 and operated from Unit 11, Tinsley Industrial Estate, Shepcote Way, Sheffield, S9 1TH. Its registered SIC codes cover the manufacture of other fluid power equipment, the manufacture of other mechanical power transmission equipment, and the manufacture of other parts and accessories for motor vehicles, placing it in the mechanical components sector.
The company filed its last accounts as a micro-entity, made up to 31 May 2024. No secured charges are registered against it at Companies House.
The directors
James Tuckwood is the current director, appointed on 8 October 2024. Yasar Khan served as a director from incorporation on 11 May 2021 and resigned on 8 October 2024, the same date Tuckwood joined the board.
What happens next
The Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, automatically takes office as liquidator on a winding-up order of this kind. Creditors of Ewen Support Services Limited who wish to recover money owed will need to submit a proof of debt -- the formal claim form evidencing the amount owed -- to the liquidator in due course. The Official Receiver may also investigate the conduct of the directors in the period leading up to the order.
The winding-up order was published in the London Gazette on 30 May 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Ewen Support Services Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Ewen Support Services 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 Ewen Support Services 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 Ewen Support Services 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.
