Liquidators were appointed to Salvum Limited on 18 May 2026, bringing the Hadleigh-based technical testing and analysis firm into a creditors' voluntary liquidation. That process is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order.
Salvum is registered at 100 St James Road, Northampton, but its principal trading address is listed as The Warehouse, Alma Road, Hadleigh, Essex. The company operates under SIC code 71200, which covers technical testing and analysis services. Companies House records show it was incorporated on 2 August 2013.
The liquidation
The appointment date of 18 May 2026 is also the date on which the authorisation was signed, suggesting the resolution and appointment were concluded on the same day. The notice was published in the London Gazette on 25 May 2026.
Salvum's last accounts on record at Companies House were made up to 31 August 2024 and filed as total-exemption-full accounts, a filing route available to smaller companies.
Secured charges
Two registered charges remain outstanding against Salvum at the point of liquidation. Both holders rank as secured creditors whose debts are backed by security over the company's assets, giving them priority over unsecured creditors in any distribution.
Peak Cashflow Limited holds a registered charge created on 16 May 2025 and delivered to Companies House on 20 May 2025. Allica Bank Limited holds a separate registered charge created on 16 September 2021 and delivered on 6 October 2021. The Allica Bank charge covers all freehold and leasehold properties, whether registered or unregistered, and all commonhold properties now or in the future owned by the company or in which it holds an interest.
The directors
At the time of the CVL, the sole active director was Stuart John Childs, who has held the role since 16 February 2016. Two directors resigned on 24 November 2025: Phillip Louis John Childs, who had been a director since the company's incorporation in August 2013, and Daniel James Yon, who had served since 26 September 2019. Marc Christopher Glenister resigned as director on 7 June 2023, having been appointed on 26 September 2019. Ian Cook served as director from 1 August 2015 until 4 April 2019.
Stuart Childs also appears in Companies House records under an earlier directorship at the company, which ran from 6 April 2015 until 16 February 2016, before his reappointment on the latter date.
No web results relevant to Salvum Limited were returned, and no administrator appointments are recorded against this notice, consistent with a CVL rather than an administration.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Salvum 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 Salvum 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 Salvum 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 Salvum 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.
