A UK construction firm has plunged into liquidation, according to an official notice shared today. It is one of several construction firms to enter liquidation in the first few months of 2026. Although no official statement has been shared by the company, several other construction firms have blamed things like inflation and operational costs for financial hardship. A notice was shared in the London Gazette today, detailing the latest construction firm to go into liquidation.
It confirmed that Charlie Ive Building Ltd entered the creditors’ liquidation on April 28, 2026. Creditor’s liquidation, also known as Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), happens when the shareholders or directors of a company volunteer to put a company into liquidation, often because it is insolvent and cannot continue to operate and repay its debts. It involves liquidating the company and selling off its assets to repay creditors.
The official notice reads: “Notice is hereby given that the following resolutions were passed on 28 April 2026, as a special resolution and an ordinary resolution, respectively:
“That the Company be wound up voluntarily and that David Meany (IP No. 9453) and Gary Thompson (IP No. 26370) both of Quantuma Advisory Limited, The Old Town Hall, 71 Christchurch Road, Ringwood, BH24 1DH be and are hereby appointed Joint Liquidators for the purpose of such winding up. Any act required or authorised under any enactment to be done by a liquidator may be done by one of them.”
The company currently has a registered office at Towngate House, 2-8 Parkstone Road, Poole, BH15 2PW and it is in the process of being changed to The Old Town Hall, 71 Christchurch Road, Ringwood, BH24 1DH.
According to Companies House, the business was incorporated in 2024 and specialises in the “development of building projects” and the “construction of domestic buildings.
It is one of many construction companies that have collapsed into liquidation recently. Oxford Builders Limited, based in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, filed for creditors’ voluntary liquidation in April. The firm, which was founded in 2013, owed £205,100 to various creditors at the time of collapse, according to documents on Companies House.
