Joint liquidators Adam Jordan and Nickolas Rimes of Rimes & Co were appointed on 8 June 2026 to wind up J D Gearbox Services Limited, a vehicle repairs specialist based in Redditch, Worcestershire.
The appointment followed a resolution passed by the company's members and creditors. In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, an insolvent company's directors ask its members to vote for winding up without a court order, after which a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed as liquidator to realise assets and distribute proceeds to creditors.
The liquidators
Jordan holds IP number 9616 and Rimes holds IP number 9533. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners at Rimes & Co, which operates from 3 The Courtyard, Harris Business Park, Hanbury Road, Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove. Further information is available from Sarah Dolphin at the firm on 01527 558 410 or at info@rimesandco.co.uk.
The company
J D Gearbox Services Limited was incorporated on 31 March 2017 and traded in vehicle repairs from Unit 6, Lakeside Trading Centre, Beoley Road East, Redditch, B98 8PE. Its most recent accounts, made up to 31 March 2025, were filed as micro-entity accounts, the lightest disclosure regime available to small companies under UK company law.
The sole director on record is Nicola Jayne Russell, who has held the role since incorporation on 31 March 2017. No other officers appear on the Companies House record, and no secured charges are registered against the company.
What happens next

The notice was published in the London Gazette on 9 June 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by J D Gearbox Services 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 J D Gearbox Services 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 J D Gearbox Services 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 J D Gearbox Services 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.
