The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Big Blind Cat Limited on 24 June 2026, placing the Christchurch-registered micro-entity into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is liquidation imposed by a court order rather than a voluntary resolution of the company's members.
The Official Receiver, S Brindley, was appointed liquidator on the same date. Brindley's office is at PO Box 18938, Birmingham, B2 2DY, and can be reached by telephone on 0300 678 0016 or by email at Enquiries.Liquidation@insolvency.gov.uk. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders.
The petition that led to the order was filed on 6 May 2026. The court sealed the order seven weeks later under case number 003543 of 2026.

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 Big Blind Cat 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 Big Blind Cat 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.
