Members of Brontel Limited resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 27 May 2026, with Christopher Brooksbank of CB Business Recovery Ltd appointed liquidator on the same date.
Brontel is a wired telecommunications business incorporated in March 2011. Its registered office is Ground Floor Offices, Riverside Mills, Saddleworth Road, Elland, West Yorkshire, and it trades from Clockwise Yorkshire House, Greek Street, Leeds.
The resolution
An extraordinary general meeting was held at the Elland registered office on 27 May 2026. Members passed a special resolution and an ordinary resolution confirming that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business and that it was advisable to wind up voluntarily.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
Roger Gooden, a director of the company, signed the resolution notice.
The liquidator appointment
Brooksbank, whose IP number is 9658, was appointed by members and creditors. He practises from CB Business Recovery Ltd at Ground Floor Offices, Riverside Mills, Saddleworth Road, Elland, HX5 0RY. He can be contacted on 01422 485690 or at chris@cb-br.co.uk.
The directors
Gooden was appointed as a director on 1 March 2024 and remained in post at the time of the winding-up. Two founding directors had left the company before the liquidation. Michael Jordan served from incorporation in March 2011 and resigned on 28 March 2024. Philip Lohan, also a director from March 2011, resigned on 25 August 2025. A fourth officer, Jonathan Mark Rutter, was appointed and resigned on 1 March 2024, a same-day arrangement consistent with a standard incorporation or restructure procedure.
No secured charges are registered against Brontel at Companies House. The company's last accounts were made up to 31 March 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Brontel 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 Brontel 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 Brontel 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 Brontel 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.
