EPS Group Ltd's members resolved to wind the company up voluntarily on 4 June 2026, with liquidators appointed the same day. The Flintshire wholesale hardware and plumbing supplies distributor had been trading for under four years.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. EPS Group was incorporated on 15 December 2022 and operated from Unit 1 Antelope Industrial Estate, Rhydymwyn, Mold, Flintshire.
The resolution
The members of EPS Group passed the resolution to wind up the company on 4 June 2026. At that point, the company's registered office and principal trading address were both recorded as the Rhydymwyn industrial estate site.
EPS Group traded under SIC code 46740, covering the wholesale of hardware, plumbing and heating equipment and supplies.
The liquidator appointment
The Gazette notice published on 4 June 2026 confirmed the appointment of liquidators to EPS Group. The specific names and IP numbers of the appointed practitioners were not carried in the extracted notice text available to this publication.
The directors
Lee Cuthill and Cai Williams were both directors of EPS Group at the time of the CVL. Each was appointed on the day of incorporation, 15 December 2022, and both are resident in Wales. Neither officer has a resigned-on date recorded at Companies House.
Secured charges
Three registered charges against EPS Group remain outstanding. The earliest was created on 10 March 2023 and is held by DBW Investments (10) Limited. Its scope covers freehold and leasehold property, fixed plant and machinery, and a range of intellectual property rights including patents, copyrights, trade marks, know-how and computer software.
RBS Invoice Finance Ltd holds a charge created on 5 June 2024 and delivered to Companies House the following day. Invoice finance arrangements of this kind are typically secured against a company's debtor book.
The most recent charge was created on 4 March 2026 and delivered on 10 March 2026, held by Nucleus Cash Flow Finance2 Limited. That charge was registered just three months before the CVL appointment. The liquidators will need to examine it as they assess the position of secured creditors ahead of any distribution.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Eps Group 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 Eps Group 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 Eps Group 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 Eps Group 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.
