Adam Price and Lane Bednash of CMB Partners UK Limited were appointed joint liquidators to East West Commodities Limited on 21 May 2026, bringing the London wholesale textiles business to a close through a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. Both the members and creditors of East West Commodities approved the appointment, as recorded in the London Gazette notice published on 27 May 2026.
The company
East West Commodities Limited was incorporated on 12 July 2010 and traded in the wholesale of textiles, classified under SIC code 46410. Its registered office was listed as The Regent Suite 1 Old Court Mews, 311 Chase Road, London, N14 6JS. The company filed total-exemption-full accounts, the smallest reporting category available to qualifying private limited companies, made up to 30 June 2024.
The company had no previous trading names on record at Companies House.
The liquidators
Price holds IP number 25050 and Bednash holds IP number 8882. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. Both are of CMB Partners UK Limited, 49 Tabernacle Street, London, EC2A 4AA.
As joint liquidators, either can usually act alone unless the terms of the appointment specify otherwise. Their role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of statutory priority.
Officers
Anandi Amin has been a director of East West Commodities Limited since 1 January 2012 and remains in that role. Panna Amin has served as company secretary since 3 October 2013 and also remains in post. Kyriacos Kyriacou was a director from the date of incorporation, 12 July 2010, but resigned on 1 January 2012.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against East West Commodities Limited at Companies House, meaning there are no secured creditors with a prior claim over the company's assets ahead of unsecured creditors in the liquidation.
Common questions
Are you owed money by East West Commodities 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 East West Commodities 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 East West Commodities 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 East West Commodities 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.
