The documents included declaring solvency, appointing a voluntary liquidator and making a “special resolution to wind up”.

Richard Hammond has given an update on the future of the Grand Tour AMAZON PRIME Clarkson is worth around £55million, Hammond £35million and May £31million.
The trio left the BBC in 2015 to set up Grand Tour after Clarkson’s contract was not renewed following an incident with a producer.
The final episode of Grand Tour is expected to air on Amazon Prime later this year.
May said: "I’m not allowed to tell you what date it’s coming out, so I won’t say that it’s September. I can say anything I want now, frankly."
James May has lined up a new show following his Grand Tour departure PAHe added: "I recorded today the last piece of voice-over I will ever record for The Grand Tour – and therefore in that whole legacy of Grand Tour, Top Gear and the few things I did before that.
"We’ve done it for nearly 22 years – a lot longer than we thought we would. I thought, when I started doing it in 2003 or 2004, that this was a bit of a laugh. Maybe it’ll last a few years.
"And, here we are, grey and wizened and sagging. And we’ve only just stopped doing it. It’s quite remarkable."
Clarkson separately said: “We've spent more time in each other's company than our families' over the last 25 years so I don't think it would have lasted as long as it did if we'd hated each other as much as James likes to think.”
