Shaw & Tell Ltd, a video production and advertising company registered at 8 Danby Crest, Stafford, passed a resolution on 20 May 2026 to enter a creditors' voluntary liquidation. In this process, an insolvent company is wound up by resolution of its members rather than by court order.
Jamie Playford of Leading has been appointed liquidator. He will realise the company's assets and distribute any proceeds to creditors. Playford holds IP number 9735, confirming his authorisation as a licensed insolvency practitioner.
The company
Shaw & Tell Ltd operated under two Standard Industrial Classification codes: 59112, covering video production, and 73110, covering advertising agencies. Both its registered office and principal trading address were at 8 Danby Crest, Stafford, ST17 9XF. The company was incorporated on 30 November 2017 and filed its last accounts as a micro-entity, made up to 31 December 2024.
The director
Jeremy Simon Shaw was the sole director at the time of the resolution, having been appointed on the date of incorporation, 30 November 2017. Shaw is recorded as resident in the United Kingdom.
What happens next
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the liquidator takes control of the company, investigates its affairs, and works to recover whatever value remains in its assets. Creditors wishing to register a claim against Shaw & Tell Ltd should submit a proof of debt to the appointed liquidator at Leading. A proof of debt is the formal claim form used to evidence the amount owed.
No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, so there are no secured creditors with priority claims over specific assets.
The resolution was published in the London Gazette on 22 May 2026, two days after it was passed.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Shaw & Tell 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 Shaw & Tell 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 Shaw & Tell 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 Shaw & Tell 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.
