Creditors' voluntary liquidation SMOKE AND SOUL VENUES LTD

Notice to the creditors of an insolvent company of the reuse of a prohibited name.

On 11 February 2026 the Company was placed into Liquidation.

We, Lindsay Jackson and Corey Milne of Milncroft Meddens, Newmachar, Aberdeen, Scotland, AB21 0QJ, were the directors of the Company within the past 12 months before it went into liquidation and on the day it entered liquidation.

We give notice that it is our intention to act in one or more of the ways to which section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the Act) applies in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the whole of the business of the Company under the following name: Smoke and Soul.

Rule 12.5 – Statement as to the effect of the notice under rule 12.4(2) of the Insolvency (Scotland) (Receivership and Winding Up) Rules 2018 (“the Rules”) Section 216(3) of the Act lists the activities that a director of a company that has gone into insolvent liquidation may not undertake unless the court gives permission or there is an exception in the Rules made under the Act. (This includes the exceptions in Part 12 of the Rules 2018.) These activities are — (a) acting as a director of another company that is known by a name which is either the same as a name used by the company in insolvent liquidation in the 12 months before it entered liquidation or is so similar as to suggest an association with that company; (b) directly or indirectly being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation, or management of any such company; or (c) directly or indirectly being concerned in the carrying on of a business otherwise than through a company under a name of the kind mentioned in (a) above.

This notice is given under rule 12.4 of the Rules where the business of a company which is in, or may go into, insolvent liquidation is, or is to be, carried on otherwise than by the company in liquidation with the involvement of a director of that company and under the same or a similar name to that of that company.

The purpose of giving this notice is to permit the director to act in these circumstances where the company enters (or has entered) insolvent liquidation without the director committing a criminal offence and in the case of the carrying on of the business through another company, being personally liable for that company’s debts.

Notice may be given where the person giving the notice is already the director of a company which proposes to adopt a prohibited name.
