A Surrey food service business incorporated in June 2023 has been wound up through a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the formal insolvency process in which a company's members resolve to wind up an insolvent business without a court order, just under three years after it was formed.
Chef Clarisse Flon Ltd, registered at Weston Farmhouse, The Street, Albury, Guildford, carried out other food service activities under SIC code 56290. The company was incorporated on 16 June 2023 and its last accounts, made up to 30 June 2025, were filed as micro-entity accounts with Companies House.
The liquidator
Andrew Mark Bland of DMC Recovery Limited was appointed liquidator on 14 May 2026. Bland holds IP number 9472. The authorisation was signed on 19 May 2026. A liquidator realises a company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors. That role differs from that of an administrator, whose statutory duties can include attempting to rescue the business.
The director
Clarisse Bernardine Raymonde Flon was the sole director of Chef Clarisse Flon Ltd, appointed on the day the company was incorporated, 16 June 2023. Flon is resident in England.
Secured charges
No outstanding secured charges are registered against Chef Clarisse Flon Ltd at Companies House, meaning there are no secured creditors with a charge over the company's assets.
Background
The company's registered office at Weston Farmhouse places it in the village of Albury, within the Surrey Hills. It was classified under the food service sector and filed micro-entity accounts, indicating it operated on a small scale throughout its brief trading life. The CVL appointment notice was published in the London Gazette on 25 May 2026, eleven days after Bland's appointment took effect.
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.
