Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
Exertis (UK) Limited presented a winding-up petition against Touchsale Ltd at the Business and Property Courts in Manchester on 24 April 2026, with a hearing listed for 10:00 am on 9 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. The court must first make a winding-up order at a hearing before the company is wound up; the petition itself does not put Touchsale Ltd into liquidation.
The case is registered in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications, under court number CR-2026-MAN-000627. The hearing will take place at the Civil Justice Centre, 1 Bridge Street West, Manchester.

Exertis (UK) Limited, which describes itself as a creditor of Touchsale Ltd, is based at Technology House, Magnesium Way, Hapton, Burnley. The petition was published in the London Gazette on 28 May 2026.
The petitioner's solicitor is Denise Lamb of Pannone Corporate LLP, 378-380 Deansgate, Manchester. Anyone intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its solicitor by 16:00 on 8 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 4.16.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Touchsale Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Touchsale Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Touchsale Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Touchsale Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Touchsale Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
