The Insolvency and Companies List (ChD) of the High Court Business and Property Courts of England and Wales has received a winding-up petition against Yorkshire Abattoir Services Limited. A notice to that effect was published in the London Gazette on 8 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Filing a petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a hearing.
The petition
The case is listed under court number CR-2025-007680. No petitioner details appear in the Gazette notice at this stage, and no hearing date has been disclosed.
The company
Yorkshire Abattoir Services Limited is the respondent named in the petition. The published notice includes no officer records, registered charges, or trading information.
What happens next
The petition will be listed for a hearing before the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD). At that hearing, the court may make a winding-up order, adjourn the matter, or dismiss the petition. If a winding-up order is made, the Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, would automatically take office as liquidator. Creditors or other interested parties wishing to be heard at the hearing should seek legal advice promptly.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for this company?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. this company is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by this company?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at this company?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of this company?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
