The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Quantum Corporation Ltd on 20 May 2026, placing the Wolverhampton-registered construction and wholesale trading business into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is court-imposed, distinct from a voluntary process resolved by the company's own members.
The case was heard under court reference 002421 of 2026. Quantum Corporation's registered office is at Kings House, St. Johns Square, Wolverhampton, WV2 4DT.
What the company did
Quantum Corporation was incorporated on 5 December 2019 and operated across development of building projects, wholesale of waste and scrap, and non-specialised wholesale trade, according to its registered SIC codes at Companies House. The company filed its last accounts to 31 December 2024 under the total-exemption-full regime, which applies to smaller companies.
The officers
At the time of the winding-up order, Karanbir Singh was the sole serving director, having been appointed on 4 December 2023. Three earlier directors had already left the company. Kashmira Singh served as a director from 1 September 2022 and resigned on 1 September 2023. Matthew James White was appointed on 9 December 2019 and resigned on 1 September 2022. Dexter Wallace held the role only briefly, appointed when the company was incorporated on 5 December 2019 and resigning four days later on 9 December 2019.
Compulsory liquidation explained
A winding-up order is a court order that places a company into compulsory liquidation. From the date of the order, the company's assets vest in a liquidator, who is the licensed insolvency practitioner or Official Receiver responsible for realising those assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors. The Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, takes office automatically on most winding-up orders. Creditors may subsequently nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner to replace them.
No administrators were appointed at any stage, and no secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Quantum Corporation Limited?
The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner. Submit your claim using the Official Receiver's online proof-of-debt service or by post; details appear on the case page at gov.uk/insolvency-service. Read more about proof of debt.
Did you work at Quantum Corporation Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Quantum Corporation Limited?
Customers 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 Quantum Corporation Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
