Hanson Quarry Products Europe Limited, trading as Heidelberg Materials UK Quarry Products, presented a winding-up petition against EDH Utilities Ltd on 27 April 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the Barnsley-based contractor.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Filing the petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make that order at a hearing.
The hearing
The petition, filed under court number CR-2026-LDS-000428, is listed for hearing at the Business and Property Courts in Leeds, Insolvency and Companies List (ChD) -- the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications -- at 10am on 9 June 2026. The hearing will take place at Fourth Floor, West Gate, 6 Grace Street, Leeds.
Any party wishing to support or oppose the petition must give notice of intention to the petitioner or its solicitor by 4pm on 8 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.
The petitioner's solicitors are Lester Aldridge LLP of Russell House, Oxford Road, Bournemouth.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Edh Utilities Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Edh Utilities Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Edh Utilities Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Edh Utilities Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Edh Utilities Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
