EVOKE MEDIA LTD
Norwich-based professional services firm Evoke Media Ltd entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 24 February 2026, following the appointment of joint liquidators on 16 February 2026. The company was originally incorporated on 16 April 2018 and operated for over seven years before stakeholders initiated the winding-up process. The transition into insolvency occurred shortly after the firm filed its last full accounts on 23 December 2025.

Readings from The Gazette and Companies House, in the firm's final two years.
Lessons behind the liquidation
The company experienced five director appointments since its incorporation in 2018, resulting in a relatively short average tenure of 2.7 years. A critical resignation occurred within the final 12 months of trading, leaving just two active directors to oversee the company's collapse. This pattern of leadership turnover often compromises long-term strategic stability and can precede formal insolvency.
Evoke Media Ltd maintained its statutory filing obligations, submitting full accounts as recently as 23 December 2025. Despite this compliance, the company entered liquidation less than three months later, on 24 February 2026. This serves as a reminder to creditors that up-to-date registry filings do not necessarily reflect current solvency or trading viability.
The appointment of Andrew Kelsall and a joint colleague from Larking Gowen as liquidators on 16 February 2026 was formalised under s.100 and s.109 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Operating under Gazette Notice 5062695, this joint appointment by members and creditors ensures a balanced, independent process to realise any remaining professional services assets. This dual-office holder approach provides essential oversight during the wind-down of operations.
This case illustrates a frequent insolvency pattern where a company maintains outwardly orderly regulatory filings while experiencing internal governance instability and executive departures immediately prior to winding up.
