(In Administration) (the “Company”)

Registered office: Registered office and principal trading address: Oakland House 2nd Floor, 76 Talbot Road, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 0PQ

On 27 April 2021 the Company entered into administration and transferred its assets and business to Universe Catholic Media Limited (company number 13286109) by way of a pre-pack administration sale.

We, Joseph Anthony Kelly of Lynton 85 Wepre Park, Connahs Quay, Deeside, Clwyd, CH5 4HL and Clive William Leach of The White House Church Street, Barkston Ash, Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, LS24 9TT were directors of the Company on the date that it entered into administration, and during the 12 months ending with that date.

We give notice under rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 to ensure that we comply with section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 in the event that the Company enters into insolvent liquidation in the 12 months following the date of the pre-pack sale as outlined above.

Accordingly, we give notice that we are acting and intend to continue to act in all or any 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 Company under the following name:

Universe Catholic Media Limited

It should be noted that we would not otherwise be permitted to undertake those activities without the leave of the court or the application of an exception created by the Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986. Breach of the prohibition created by Section 216 is a criminal offence.

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 under 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 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.
