What the records show

ORIGIN COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 29 March 2016, with its registered office in Salford. Companies House lists its business as other telecommunications activities. Its most recent accounts were made up to 28 February 2025.

On 12 October 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming Andrea Jakes of Alvarez & Marsal Europe LLP.

In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 1 director appointed, 1 new charge registered, 1 charge satisfied and accounts filed on 25 November 2025. It has 5 outstanding charges, held by Kroll Trustee Services Limited. 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
