A West Midlands motor vehicle coachwork manufacturer has been wound down through a creditors' voluntary liquidation. S L Conversions Ltd resolved to appoint a liquidator on 20 May 2026, roughly three years after the company was incorporated.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The appointment
Jamie Playford of Leading, based at Lawrence House, 5 St Andrews Hill, Norwich, has been appointed liquidator. Playford holds IP number 9735, the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. The appointment was made on 20 May 2026 and the notice appeared in the London Gazette on 22 May 2026.
The company
S L Conversions Ltd was incorporated on 19 January 2023 and operated from Unit 4 Westgate Trading Estate, Westgate, Aldridge, WS9 8EX in the West Midlands. Its registered trade description under SIC code 29201 is the manufacture of bodies, or coachwork, for motor vehicles, excluding caravans. The company filed its last accounts, made up to 31 January 2024, as a micro-entity, the smallest reporting category available to limited companies under UK company law.
No prior trading names appear on the Companies House record, and the company had no name history since its formation.
The director
Stuart Michael Lee was the sole director of S L Conversions Ltd, appointed on the same date the company was incorporated, 19 January 2023. Lee is recorded as resident in England.
Secured charges
No outstanding secured charges are registered against S L Conversions Ltd at Companies House, meaning no secured creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
Creditors wishing to participate in the liquidation should contact Jamie Playford at Leading in Norwich. The formal claim submitted by a creditor evidencing the amount owed is known as a proof of debt, and the liquidator will issue guidance on the process in due course.
Common questions
Are you owed money by S L Conversions 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 S L Conversions 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 S L Conversions 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 S L Conversions 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.
