Yes, saw that; just as we were about to present our evidence
How does that work? Can you dissolve a company in advance?
You are not alone. We encountered problems with our van from the moment we collected it from Teahupoo - approx 3 years ago. We have needed a full re-wire, a new water tank, new heater, and we are currently experiencing problems with our pop-top roof. Generally is there a safety kitemark or recognised quality standard that converters should adhere to?
Hi all, we have rectified several of their attempts at converting vehicles. We also reported them to trading standards 3 years ago due to the unsafe nature of their builds. I know there are good and bad but on the whole by the nature of the way they were installing or trying the vehicles just were so unsafe, it’s only now that the company has been closed that we can openly discuss the issues without legal action being taken against us.
we did try to stop what they were doing, believe me we put alot of effort into stopping people being ripped off. On a side note I don’t know how they did it but there wasn’t a single bad review on their google reviews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you paid any of it by credit card,thinknover £100 (say deposit) then you are protected for the full amount regardless if the company has gone bust. Worth looking into.
Not, unfortunately, if you paid the amount likely paid for a campervan as Section 75 has an upper limit of £30,000
Section 75 refunds
Section 75 protects your purchases over £100 if you use a credit card. This MoneySavingExpert guide tells you how to reclaim if something goes wrong.
There is freedom of expression in the UK, speak your mind.
Unfortunately for us as a business,presenting the nature of what they were doing to a wider audience could have been seen as slander, and led to legal action against us,this is why we took the time and effort to report it to trading standards on several occasions, I’m just glad that no one else will suffer at the hands of these people.
Still think if repairs are below the limit then worth trying the credit card for making good.
It's not an upper limit on how much you can claim, it's an upper limit of when Section 75 applies.
If the cost is over £30,000 then you don't have that protection.
Thanks roadtripper, saves me spending the night reading the legislation l
If you've got that much money involved don't just take the random word of
someone on the forum, get some professional advice.

Essentially, no.
Only voluntary schemes like the NCC scheme.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, but welcome to the forum.
Another dissatisfied customer here I’m afraid
Had multiple problems from day one, took the van back to them with a long list of issues, which they mostly resolved.
However I’d rate the workmanship overall as poor diy standard. I’m actually not surprised if they’ve ceased trading - but am surprised there weren’t more negative comments or reviews around on the internet when they were still converting vehicles. I thought we were just unlucky, apparently not.

What issues have you had so far?
Could you give examples of what you found to be unsafe and reported to Trading Standards, also some information about your company?
Can I remind you @MRGhow that if you are here for business purposes that you will need to have a trade member account.
Thank you for your support. I am using someone local to me who has been very helpful indeed
