A Lytham St Annes tree removal and site preparation contractor has been wound up through a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the London Gazette has confirmed. Andrew Mark Bland of DMC Recovery Limited was appointed liquidator on 18 May 2026.
MDT-Forestry Ltd, registered at 1 Richmond Road, Lytham St Annes, FY8 1PE, was incorporated on 8 January 2022 and carried out work classified under site preparation, including tree removal. A creditors' voluntary liquidation is a formal insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members without a court order. The authorisation was signed on 21 May 2026.
The liquidator
Bland holds IP number 9472 and practises through DMC Recovery Limited. In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the liquidator realises the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set by insolvency law. No court was involved in the appointment.
The director
Matthew David Taylor was the sole director of MDT-Forestry Ltd. He was appointed on 8 January 2022, the same day the company was incorporated, and no resignation is recorded at Companies House. He remains the only officer on the register.
Accounts and structure
The company's most recent accounts were made up to 31 January 2024 and filed as micro-entity accounts, the smallest category available to limited companies under UK accounting rules. No secured charges are registered against MDT-Forestry Ltd at Companies House, meaning no secured creditor held a charge over the company's assets at the time of the CVL.
Background
MDT-Forestry Ltd traded for just over four years before the liquidation appointment. The company had no prior names on the register and no supplemental notices have been published alongside the Gazette appointment notice. Contact details for Bland at DMC Recovery Limited are set out in the official Gazette notice for creditors wishing to engage with the liquidation process.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Mdt-Forestry 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 Mdt-Forestry 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 Mdt-Forestry 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 Mdt-Forestry 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.
