Overview
- Liquidators were appointed to Affinity Packaging Ltd on June 17, and the company is now in compulsory liquidation with creditors instructed to prove their debts to the court-appointed officers.
- The liquidation follows a breached Company’s Voluntary Arrangement from 2025 after a formal breach was issued to directors on March 4 for missed payments to HM Revenue & Customs and a winding-up petition was filed on April 30.
- BTG Begbies Traynor partners Dominik Thiel-Czerwinke and Louise Donna Baxter were named joint liquidators and have published notices in The Gazette asking creditors who have not yet proved their claims to submit evidence.
- At the start of the CVA the company recorded creditor claims of £2,465,901, and Affinity’s client list included brands such as Swizzels whose products appear in major supermarkets, though official notices do not confirm any immediate store supply disruptions.
- A Company’s Voluntary Arrangement is a court-backed restructuring tool that allows creditors to agree staged repayments and asset realisations; with the CVA breached the liquidators will now assess assets, verify claims and decide how any remaining value is distributed to creditors.
