The petition
Scandinavian Energy Contractors A/S, based at Gydevang 39-41, Allerod, Denmark, presented a winding-up petition against Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) Limited on 6 May 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the company. The petition was filed in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD) of the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, sitting as part of the High Court of Justice, under court number CR-2026-003429.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a hearing. That hearing is listed for 24 June 2026 at 10:30 at the Royal Courts of Justice, 7 Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London.
Any party wishing to support or oppose the petition must notify the petitioner in accordance with Rule 7.14 by 16:00 on 23 June 2026.

Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) Limited was incorporated on 7 February 2025, making it just fifteen months old when the petition was presented.

The company's registered office is at Clyde and Co LLP, The St Botolph Building, 138 Houndsditch, London, EC3A 7AR. No accounts have yet been filed; the first are not due until 7 November 2026.
The director

Secured charges
No secured charges have been registered against Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) Limited at Companies House.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) 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 Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) 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 Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) 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 Breen Recovery (Carnbroe) 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.
