Principal trading addressTrading addresses: 2 Bailey Hill, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7 7AD and Riverside Cottage,
Dunkeswell, Honiton, Devon, EX14 4ST
Trading NameMark Curtis Roofing Ltd and Mark Curtis Roofing and Building
On 17 September 2026 the above-named company went into insolvent liquidation.
We, Mark Curtis and Joanne Curtis of Riverside Cottage, Dunkeswell, Honiton, Devon, EX14 4ST were directors of the
above-named company during the 12 months ending with the day before it went into liquidation.
We
give notice that it is our intention to act in one or more of the ways specified in section 216(3) of the
Insolvency Act 1986 in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or
substantially the whole of the business of the insolvent company under the names 'Mark Curtis
Roofing', 'Mark Curtis Roofing and Building' or 'Mark Curtis Roofing and Building South West' either
personally or as the directors of a company.
Rule 22.5 - Statement as to the effect of the notice under rule 22.4(2):
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. A breach of the prohibition created by section
216 is a criminal offence. (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.
