NOTICE TO THE CREDITORS OF THE RE-USE OF A PROHIBITED NAME

M.G. SIGNS LIMITED

01610997

Registered office: 12 Pond Wood Close, Moulton Park Industrial Estate, Northampton, NN3 6RT

On 13 August 2025 the above-named company entered into administration.

I, Stephen Leonard Seelig of 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, was a director of the above-named company on the day it entered administration.

Accordingly I give notice that I intend 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 above-named company under the following name:

Casalah Ltd (company number 16578613) trading as ‘M.G. Signs’ and ‘MG Signs’.

Registered Office shall be: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ

A breach of the prohibition created by section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 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 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.
