Nedim Ailyan and Paul Atkinson of FRP Advisory Trading Limited were appointed joint liquidators to JLB Steels Limited, a steel fabrication company based in Hockley, Essex, on 22 May 2026.
JLB Steels, whose registered office is at 33 Eldon Way, Hockley, Essex, carried out steel fabrication work before the winding-up. The company was incorporated on 4 May 2021, originally under the name SBE Property Development and Management Limited, before changing its name in October 2021.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. Both members and creditors made the appointment.
The liquidators
Ailyan holds IP number 9072 and Atkinson holds IP number 9314. Both are of FRP Advisory Trading Limited, Centre Block, 4th Floor, Central Court, Knoll Rise, Orpington. The registered office of JLB Steels is in the process of being changed to that same address.
The directors
Two directors held office at the time of the CVL. Jordan Jai Sidhu was appointed a director on 4 May 2021, the date of incorporation, and remains in post. Brandon Shakeel Bennett has been a director since 17 November 2022 and also remains in post. The Companies House record shows an earlier appointment for Bennett from 8 November 2021, with a resignation on 16 November 2022 and a fresh appointment the following day on 17 November 2022, reflecting a procedural restructure rather than two entirely separate tenures.
Lukaine Louis Bell-Edwards served as a director from incorporation on 4 May 2021 until his resignation on 14 November 2022.
No secured charges are registered against JLB Steels Limited at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Jlb Steels 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 Jlb Steels 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 Jlb Steels 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 Jlb Steels 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.
