On 20 August 2026 the above company will go into insolvent liquidation.
We, Neil Richardson and Robert Oliver Houlton of 30-34 North Street, Hailsham, East Sussex BN27
1DW, were directors of the above insolvent company in the 12 months preceding the date upon
which it went into liquidation.
Pursuant to Rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, we give notice that it is our
intention to act in one or more ways specified in section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 in
connection with, or for the purpose of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the whole of the
business of the insolvent company under the name
Axis Retail Ltd t/a Westminster Outdoor Living.
Section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 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 Insolvency Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986. (This includes the exceptions
in Part 22 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016). 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 in pursuance of Rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016
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 the giving of 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.
