Seven linked firms wound up in High Court after false filings uncovered

By: Blackpool Gazette27 Sept 2026
Seven seemingly unrelated companies, including Blackpool-based Attic Asset Ltd, have been wound up at the High Court in Manchester following a joint Insolvency Service and Companies House investigation. The firms were found to share suspicious incorporation histories and company filings.

Investigators found accounts containing false or misleading auditor information, with named audit firms denying any involvement. Several companies had no genuine presence at their registered addresses, and their controllers could not be identified.

The companies, spanning Blackpool, London, Manchester and Reading, were wound up on 22 September 2026 in the public interest, to protect the integrity of the companies register.
