What the records show
UNILABS LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 28 November 2000, with its registered office in Manchester. Companies House lists its business as other human health activities. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 December 2024. Its next accounts, due by 30 September 2026, are overdue.
On 7 August 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming David J Pike and Shane R Smith.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 3 directors leaving (latest 10 April 2026), 3 directors appointed, 1 charge satisfied and accounts filed on 29 December 2025. It has 1 outstanding charge, held by Howard De Walden Estates Limited. 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
