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.

What the records show
SPECTRAGLASS LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 5 September 1983, with its registered office in Mildenhall. Companies House lists its business as other manufacturing not elsewhere classified. Its most recent accounts were made up to 30 November 2024.
On 5 November 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming a practitioner of FRP Advisory Trading Limited.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded a change of registered office on 19 March 2026, 1 new charge registered, 1 charge satisfied and accounts filed on 10 November 2025. It has 4 outstanding charges, held by Nucleus Cash Flow FINANCE2 Limited, The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and Ultimate Finance LTD. It has 2 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
