Hunseb Ltd, a Worthing-registered temporary staffing agency, presented a winding-up petition against itself at the High Court of Justice on 16 December 2025, asking the court to bring the company to a close under section 122(1)(f) of the Insolvency Act 1986.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking a judge to make a winding-up order that would place the company into compulsory liquidation - liquidation imposed by a court order rather than resolved voluntarily by the company's members. Here, the petitioner is the company itself, acting through its director Witsimang Sebata, whose correspondence address is listed as 115 Boxgrove, Goring by Sea, Worthing, BN12 6LX.
The hearing
The petition is listed to be heard at the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD) - the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications - at the Rolls Building, 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane, London EC4A 1NL on 3 June 2026 at 10:30am. The court reference is CR-2025-008940.
Anyone intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its representative by 16:00 on 2 June 2026, in line with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.
The company
Hunseb Ltd was incorporated on 12 October 2022 and is classified under SIC code 78200, covering temporary employment agency activities. Its current registered office is at 23/24 New Broadway, Worthing, England, BN11 4HP. The company was formerly registered at Kingsgate, 62 High Street, Redhill, RH1 1SG. The most recent accounts filed at Companies House were micro-entity accounts made up to 31 October 2023.
The directors
Three directors are currently listed at Companies House. Sebata has been a director since incorporation on 12 October 2022. Keith Bukhosi Moyo and Syenje Waruza were both appointed on 31 January 2024. A fourth director, Macjones Hunduza, appointed at incorporation on 12 October 2022, resigned on 31 January 2024.
No secured charges are registered against Hunseb Ltd, and no insolvency practitioners have been appointed at this stage. The petition remains a filing; the company has not yet been wound up.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Hunseb Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Hunseb 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 Hunseb 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 Hunseb 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 Hunseb 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.
