Members of Shared Path UK Limited passed a special resolution to wind up the company voluntarily on 20 May 2026. Joint liquidators from Larking Gowen LLP were appointed the same day to oversee the winding-up.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. It is the largest single stream of corporate insolvency in the UK by volume.
The company
Shared Path UK Limited was incorporated on 21 October 2022 and registered at Salisbury House, Station Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. The company traded under SIC code 47640, which covers retail of sports goods, fishing gear, camping equipment and related products. Its principal trading address was listed as 3 Bodley Street, Beaumaris, Victoria, Australia, where the general meeting to approve the winding-up resolution was also held.
Mark Andrew Armstrong was appointed director on the date of incorporation and remains the sole director on record at Companies House. His country of residence is recorded as Australia.
The liquidators
Lee Anthony Green (IP No. 015610) and Andrew Anderson Kelsall (IP No. 009555), both of Larking Gowen LLP, were appointed joint liquidators on 20 May 2026. The firm's offices are at 1st Floor, Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich, Norfolk. A liquidator is the licensed insolvency practitioner who realises a company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors during a liquidation.
Green and Kelsall were appointed by ordinary resolution at the same general meeting that approved the winding-up. The authorisation was signed on 22 May 2026, and the notice appeared in the London Gazette on 27 May 2026.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Shared Path UK 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 Shared Path UK 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 Shared Path UK 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 Shared Path UK 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.
