Instant Coffee Supplies Ltd, a British coffee supplier, has entered voluntary liquidation, according to a notice published in The Gazette. Director Trevor Geoffrey Blashfield, 81, confirmed that resolutions were passed on 24 March 2026 to wind up the company voluntarily.
The company, which reported over £1.08 million in capital and £1.4 million in assets in 2025, has appointed Cullen & Co UK as the liquidator to oversee the process. A Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is a formal, tax-efficient procedure used to close a solvent company when it is no longer needed, initiated by shareholders.
According to law firm Baker McKenzie, an MVL involves appointing a liquidator to distribute assets, pay outstanding liabilities, and wind up the company, typically allowing distributions to be treated as capital gains. The move comes as other retailers, such as River Island, have also faced challenges, with the fashion chain closing 32 stores this year amid a £32.3m pre-tax loss.
