Chef Clarisse Flon Ltd, a catering and food service business registered at Weston Farmhouse, The Street, Albury, Guildford, passed a resolution on 14 May 2026 to enter a creditors' voluntary liquidation. The process is initiated by a company's own members when the business is insolvent and requires no court order.
The company was incorporated on 16 June 2023, meaning it traded for less than three years before the resolution was passed. Its registered office remains at the Albury address, in the Surrey Hills.
The company
Chef Clarisse Flon Ltd operated under SIC code 56290, which covers food service activities outside restaurants and mobile catering. It was incorporated as a private limited company and filed its last accounts as a micro-entity, made up to 30 June 2025.
The sole director throughout the company's life was Clarisse Bernardine Raymonde Flon, appointed on the day of incorporation, 16 June 2023. Flon is resident in England.
The winding-up resolution
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the company's members vote to wind up an insolvent business and a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed as liquidator to realise the company's assets and distribute any proceeds to creditors. The resolution was passed on 14 May 2026, with the authorisation documentation signed on 19 May 2026. The notice was published in the London Gazette on 25 May 2026.
No administrators were involved. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House, so there are no secured creditors with a charge over its assets.
What comes next
Once formally in place, the liquidator will assess the company's assets and liabilities, contact creditors and invite them to submit a proof of debt, the formal claim evidencing the amount owed to each creditor. Given the micro-entity accounts status, the company's balance sheet was likely modest in scale, though no financial figures are available from the notice or from Companies House filings.
The absence of any web reporting and the company's short trading history suggest Chef Clarisse Flon Ltd was a small, owner-managed operation. Flon has no other active directorships listed in the bundle.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Chef Clarisse Flon 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 Chef Clarisse Flon 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 Chef Clarisse Flon 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 Chef Clarisse Flon 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.
