What the records show
ELBEC LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 8 June 2004, with its registered office in Norwich. Companies House lists its business as other business support service activities not elsewhere classified. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 December 2024.
On 28 July 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming Jo Watts of McTear Williams & Wood Limited.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded accounts filed on 30 September 2025. It has 1 outstanding charge, held by Dagless LTD. 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
