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
APPLETREE JOINERY PRODUCTS LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 18 July 1985, with its registered office in Newton Aycliffe. Companies House lists its business as manufacture of other products of wood; manufacture of articles of cork, straw and plaiting materials. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 October 2025.
On 15 October 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming Kerry Pearson and Ed Connell of Armstrong Watson LLP.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 1 charge satisfied and accounts filed on 21 July 2026. It has 2 outstanding charges, held by Aldermore Bank PLC. 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
