If this company owes you money
A claim is made to the person handling the insolvency, not to Financial Pages, which is a company-information service and cannot register a claim. The office-holders named in the Gazette notices are listed above.
Tell them you are owed money. GOV.UK says a creditor owed more than £1,000 submits a Proof of Debt form, and a creditor owed £1,000 or less gives the person handling the case their contact details and the amount.
Money reaches other creditors only once the assets sold have covered the costs of the insolvency and any secured creditors, so a claim may return part of the debt or none of it.

CLARKE CABLE LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 15 March 1972, with its registered office in London. Companies House lists its business as manufacture of other electronic and electric wires and cables. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 December 2024.

On 5 August 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming Richard Hunt of SFP Restructuring Limited.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 1 director appointed and accounts filed on 16 September 2025. It has 3 outstanding charges, held by Bibby Financial Services Limited (As Security Trustee) and 2 private individuals. It has 3 serving directors.
An administrator's first aim, under the Insolvency Act 1986, is rescuing the company as a going concern; if that is not reasonably practicable, a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up; and failing both, realising property to pay secured or preferential creditors. Source
