What the records show
PHILADELPHIA STRUCTURES LTD is a private limited company incorporated on 25 September 1997, with its registered office in Sunderland. Companies House lists its business as manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 December 2025. Its confirmation statement, due by 4 October 2026, is overdue.
On 12 August 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming Richard Cole of KBL Advisory.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 2 charges satisfied. None of its registered charges is outstanding. 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
