Key points
- Moll (UK) Limited was placed into creditors' liquidation on 10 June 2016, according to The Gazette
- John Anthony Lowe and Christopher John Stirland of FRP Advisory LLP are the joint liquidators
- The notice lists the business as 'Manufacture of other textiles' and gives no figures on debts or jobs
- The notice does not mention curtains, a 42-year history or administration
Moll (UK) Limited, a Leicestershire manufacturer of textiles, was placed into creditors’ liquidation on 10 June 2016, according to a notice published in The Gazette. The notice gives the company’s nature of business as “Manufacture of other textiles”. John Anthony Lowe and Christopher John Stirland, both of FRP Advisory LLP, are named as joint liquidators.
This report rests only on that notice, which dates from 2016. It does not say the company made curtains, does not say how long it had traded, and does not describe an administration, which is a different insolvency procedure from liquidation. We have therefore not reported any of those points as fact.
What the Gazette notice says about the UK textile company liquidation proceedings
The notice identifies the company by its number, 02550990, and gives its registered office as 340 Melton Road, Leicester, LE4 7SL. Its principal trading address is listed separately as The Old Weaving Mill, Church Lane, Whitwick, Coalville, Leicestershire, LE67 5DH. The type of liquidation is given as “Creditors”, and the appointment is recorded as made by “Members and Creditors”.
The two office holders are listed with the numbers 9513 and 9368. The key entries are set out below.
| Item | Detail in the notice |
|---|---|
| Company | Moll (U.K.) Limited, number 02550990 |
| Nature of business | Manufacture of other textiles |
| Type of liquidation | Creditors |
| Date of appointment | 10 June 2016 |
| Joint liquidators | John Anthony Lowe and Christopher John Stirland, FRP Advisory LLP |
The notice is a formal record of the appointment rather than an explanation of why the company failed.
Who is affected
The notice does not say how many people worked for the company, how much it owed or who its creditors are. Anyone who was owed money by Moll (UK) Limited, or who supplied it with goods or services, may want to know about the appointment. The notice directs further enquiries to the joint liquidators at [email protected]. Because the notice dates from 2016, those contact details and the status of the liquidation may have changed, and we have not confirmed whether they are still current.
A creditor who wants to act on the notice has a simple first step. Email the joint liquidators, quote the company number 02550990, and ask how to submit a claim and what documents they need. Keep copies of invoices, contracts and correspondence before you write. The notice does not set out a deadline or a claims process, so the liquidators are the only source for those details.
The notice also lists two addresses in Leicestershire. The registered office is in Leicester, while the trading address is a mill in Whitwick, near Coalville. Anyone with paperwork addressed to either location may find it relevant.
What happens next
The notice does not give a timetable, so we cannot say when creditors would hear more or what they might receive. Any updates would come from the liquidators, FRP Advisory LLP, or from further notices in The Gazette. We have not seen figures for the company’s assets or liabilities, or any later notice recording the outcome of the liquidation.
It helps to compare how other Gazette notices differ in what they reveal. A December 2024 notice for Tanhar Restaurant Ltd, trading as Bombay Spice in York, recorded a resolution that the company “cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business”. A February 2016 notice for Step Up Solutions Limited set the liquidator’s fee at £1,495 plus disbursements and VAT. The Moll notice contains neither a statement about liabilities nor a fee, so it tells readers who is in charge and how to reach them, and little else.
Until the liquidators or the company publish more, the confirmed position is limited. A Leicestershire textile manufacturer was placed into creditors’ liquidation on 10 June 2016, and two named practitioners were appointed to handle it.

A Gazette notice is a starting point, not a full account, and this one shows it. It confirms who was put in charge in 2016 and how to reach them, but not why the company failed, what it owed or how many jobs were affected. Claims about its history or products need their own evidence. Until that appears, creditors should contact the named liquidators directly, checking that the details are still current, and keep their paperwork, rather than rely on summaries of a short legal notice.
