Joint liquidators David Birne and Stephen Katz of BTG Begbies Traynor (London) LLP were appointed to ES Broadcast S.I. Limited on 24 June 2026, the London Gazette has confirmed.
The appointment follows a creditors' voluntary liquidation, a process in which an insolvent company is wound up by resolution of its members at the request of its directors, without a court order. Both the members and creditors approved the appointment.
The company
ES Broadcast S.I. Limited is registered at Pearl Assurance House, 319 Ballards Lane, Finchley, London, and carries out video distribution activities under SIC code 59132. The company was incorporated on 23 December 2019 and has traded under two earlier names. It was originally registered as Broadcast Equipment Distribution (UK) Limited before being renamed Suffusion Limited in January 2020. The current name, ES Broadcast S.I. Limited, has been in use since July 2025.
The liquidators
Birne holds IP number 9034 and Katz holds IP number 8681. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners at BTG Begbies Traynor (London) LLP, whose address matches the company's registered office at Pearl Assurance House, 319 Ballards Lane, London, N12 8LY. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body, identifying the individual practitioner.
The officers
At the time of the CVL, the directors of ES Broadcast S.I. Limited were Edward Paul Lucas Saunders, appointed on 23 December 2019, and Warren Taggart, appointed on 18 June 2024. The company secretary is Squire Patton Boggs Secretarial Services Limited, appointed on 2 January 2024.
Two directors resigned on 30 April 2026, shortly before the liquidation. Christopher John Eyles, who joined the board on 14 April 2025, and Stephen Kines, appointed on 18 June 2024, both left on that date. Benjamin David Murphy and Snehal Savjani had resigned earlier, both on 18 June 2024, having each served since incorporation. Pitsec Limited previously acted as corporate secretary before being replaced by Squire Patton Boggs Secretarial Services Limited.
Secured lender
HSBC UK Bank PLC holds an outstanding registered charge over ES Broadcast S.I. Limited, comprising a fixed and floating charge over all assets. The charge was created on 23 July 2021 and delivered to Companies House on 28 July 2021. A floating charge covers assets that change over time, such as stock and debtors, and crystallises into a fixed charge on insolvency.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Es Broadcast S.i. 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 Es Broadcast S.i. 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 Es Broadcast S.i. 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 Es Broadcast S.i. 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.
