Members of N.E Meats Limited passed a resolution on 20 May 2026 to wind up the Newcastle wholesale meat distributor through a creditors' voluntary liquidation. In this process, an insolvent company's directors and members bring it to an end without a court order, and a licensed liquidator then realises assets for creditors.
Paul Matthew Kings and Lynn Marshall of KRE (North) Limited were appointed joint liquidators the following day, on 21 May 2026. Kings holds IP number 30610 and Marshall holds IP number 9398. Joint liquidators are two insolvency practitioners appointed to act together in realising a company's assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors.
The company
N.E Meats Limited was incorporated on 21 October 2013 and operated from Unit 4 Bellway Industrial Estate, Long Benton, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 9SW. Its registered SIC code, 46320, covers the wholesale of meat and meat products. The company filed its last accounts to 31 October 2023 on a micro-entity basis, the smallest reporting category available under UK company law.
The directors
Two directors were on record at Companies House at the time of the resolution. Dane Robinson was appointed on 21 October 2013, the date the company was incorporated. Jesse William Robinson joined the board on 22 October 2022. Both are recorded as resident in the United Kingdom.
The liquidators
Kings and Marshall will take control of the company's affairs, identify and realise any remaining assets, and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set out in the Insolvency Act 1986. Unsecured creditors, those whose debts are not backed by a charge over company assets, rank behind any preferential creditors such as employees owed arrears of wages.
No outstanding secured charges are registered against N.E Meats Limited at Companies House, so no secured creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
The resolution was published in the London Gazette on 26 May 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by N.e Meats 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 N.e Meats 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 N.e Meats 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 N.e Meats 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.
