A winding-up petition has been presented against Roddymoor Ltd at the Central Registry of Winding-up Petitions under case number CR-2026-008044. Court records confirm that the filing was registered on 16 October 2026 via the Rolls Building CE-File system. Presentation of a petition represents the formal commencement of court proceedings by a petitioner; it does not constitute a judicial determination of insolvency, nor does it guarantee that a winding-up order will be made.

The company's profile currently shows an active proposal for compulsory strike-off. Under Section 1000 of the Companies Act 2006, strike-off action is routinely initiated when regulatory filings, such as annual confirmation statements or statutory accounts, fall overdue. Where a winding-up petition is notified to the Registrar, the Registrar typically suspends administrative dissolution to allow court proceedings to take precedence.

Recent filings and Gazette activity
No formal advertisement of this petition has appeared in The Gazette. Under the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, a petitioner is prohibited from advertising a winding-up petition until at least seven business days have elapsed following formal service upon the company at its registered office.
The absence of Gazette publication indicates the matter remains at its earliest stage. Creditors tracking active court activity can view the broader landscape via the winding-up petitions list today to cross-reference newly presented petitions across England and Wales.
What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
The presentation of a winding-up petition creates substantial legal and operational implications for commercial counterparties. Under Section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986, any disposition of company property made after the date of presentation is void in the event that a winding-up order is subsequently granted, unless the court orders otherwise via a validation order.
| Counterparty Category | Operational Risk Under Section 127 | Recommended Immediate Action |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Trade Suppliers | Payments received after 16 October 2026 risk clawback by an official receiver or liquidator. | Require cash on delivery (COD) or advance payment; review retention of title (ROT) clauses. |
| Unsecured Creditors | Low priority in compulsory liquidation behind secured and preferential claims. | Review debt recovery strategy and consult legal counsel on petition participation. |
| Commercial Customers | Unfulfilled delivery risks if operations or stock transfers are frozen. | Withhold stage payments until physical receipt of goods or title transfer is verified. |
| Lenders / Funders | Default covenants may trigger upon petition presentation. | Conduct security review and verify perfection of floating and fixed charges. |
Practical credit scenario
Consider an equipment wholesaler with £28,000 in trade invoices due from a commercial customer. If the customer suffers an unadvertised petition on 16 October and pays the invoice on 24 October, that payment constitutes a post-petition disposition. Should the High Court grant a winding-up order at a subsequent hearing, the court-appointed liquidator has statutory authority to demand repayment of the £28,000 from the wholesaler, unless a validation order was obtained under Section 127.
Conducting a regular winding up search before fulfilling high-value trade orders or processing major account variations allows suppliers to detect court filings weeks before public advertisement occurs in The Gazette.
Immediate risk mitigation checklist
1. Freeze discretionary trade credit: Halt open credit terms immediately and transition to pro-forma settlement or cleared funds.
2. Review retention of title clauses: Audit delivery notes and sales contracts to confirm valid incorporation of enforceable retention of title terms.
3. Perform a winding up petition search: Verify the exact status of the petition via court records or check whether other entities in the supply chain face concurrent proceedings.
4. Audit recent receipts: Calculate the total value of payments received from the company on or after 16 October 2026 to assess potential Section 127 clawback exposure.
5. Evaluate ongoing performance obligations: Seek specialist insolvency advice before terminating executory contracts to prevent breach-of-contract counterclaims.
Corp Intel positioning
Historically, commercial credit teams identified insolvency risk by telephoning the Central Registry of Winding-up Petitions or relying on automated Companies House alerts. However, Companies House does not record winding-up petitions; it records only final winding-up orders or statutory insolvency appointments after the court process concludes.
Relying exclusively on free registry data leaves credit controllers exposed during the multi-week gap between a petition being presented and its eventual gazetting or determination. Corp Intel bridges this gap by indexing the Rolls Building CE-File docket directly. When monitoring trading counterparties, setting up free company monitoring ensures risk teams receive prompt alerts when statutory filings, officer departures, or corporate status changes occur.
For credit teams and suppliers
For credit underwriters, wholesale distributors, and commercial lenders, early petition identification is critical to limiting bad-debt exposure. Missing an unadvertised petition can result in irrecoverable clawback claims under Section 127 or uncollected stock trapped behind frozen premises. Performing a comprehensive winding up search prior to renewing annual credit limits or releasing deferred-payment shipments provides legally defensible verification of counterparty status.
How to investigate further
Credit professionals and counterparties seeking further clarity on Roddymoor Ltd should take the following investigative steps:
- Companies House: Review the company's filing history, registered charges, and confirmation statements on the public register.
- The Gazette: Check for statutory notices of petition advertisement or creditors' meetings.
- Central Registry: Check listing schedules directly or use the daily cause lists to monitor upcoming court dates.
- Corporate monitoring: Track the entity using automated monitoring to receive notification of any subsequent winding up order search outcomes or administrative changes.
FAQ
Does the presentation of a winding-up petition mean Roddymoor Ltd is in liquidation?
No. A winding-up petition is an application to the court by an alleged creditor seeking an order to wind up the company. The company remains active under the control of its directors until the court hears the petition and determines whether to dismiss it, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
How long does it take from petition presentation to a court hearing?
In the High Court, winding-up hearings are typically listed between four and ten weeks following presentation. The timeframe allows the petitioner sufficient time to serve the petition, comply with advertisement rules, and file the necessary certificate of compliance.
When is a winding-up petition advertised in The Gazette?
Under Rule 7.10 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, a petition cannot be advertised until at least seven business days have passed after service on the company. If the company pays the debt, disputes the petition on substantial grounds, or secures an injunction restraining advertisement, the petition may never appear in The Gazette.
Why is Section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986 important to creditors?
Section 127 renders void any disposition of the company's property made after the presentation date if a winding-up order is subsequently made. This means payments received by creditors after 16 October 2026 can be reclaimed by a future liquidator unless validated by the court.
