JETMS Completions and Waypoint Aerotec were wound up at a Teams meeting on 5 August, and joint liquidators are now in charge of both Biggin Hill firms.

Two aviation companies at Biggin Hill have been formally wound up, and joint liquidators are now in charge of both. The creditors’ meetings we reported earlier this month went ahead on 5 August, and the resolutions passed that day put JETMS Completions Ltd and Waypoint Aerotec Limited into creditors’ voluntary liquidation. (The Gazette, Resolutions for Winding-up, JETMS Completions Ltd, 14 August 2026)

We covered the calling of those meetings on 10 August, when the outcome was still open. (Biggin Hill aircraft firm JetMS heads into liquidation) Four further Gazette notices, published on 14 August, record what happened next.

What the notices say

Both meetings were held on Microsoft Teams on 5 August. At each one a special resolution was passed that the company be wound up voluntarily, and an ordinary resolution was passed appointing the joint liquidators. (The Gazette, Resolutions for Winding-up, Waypoint Aerotec Limited, 14 August 2026)

The same two people are joint liquidators of both companies. They are Stuart David Morton (IP number 17432) and Matthew Robert Howard (IP number 9219), both of Price Bailey LLP in Norwich. The date of appointment for both companies is 5 August 2026. The JETMS notice records that the appointment was made by members and creditors. (The Gazette, Appointment of Liquidators, JETMS Completions Ltd, 14 August 2026)

Both companies give the same registered office and principal trading address, 510 Churchill Way, Biggin Hill, Westerham, TN16 3BN, on the London Biggin Hill Airport site. JETMS Completions is recorded as trading in the repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft, Waypoint Aerotec in non-scheduled passenger air transport. (The Gazette, Appointment of Liquidators, Waypoint Aerotec Limited, 14 August 2026)

As we noted when we first covered this, the TN16 3BN postcode sits in the London Borough of Bromley, in its Biggin Hill ward, even though the postal address reads Westerham in Kent. (postcodes.io, ONS postcode data for TN16 3BN)

Steps in the two liquidations: creditors' meetings called on 28 July, companies wound up at a Teams meeting on 5 August with joint liquidators appointed, appointment notices published on 14 August, and Waypoint Aerotec's statement of affairs filed on 20 August

Waypoint files its statement of affairs

Waypoint Aerotec lodged four documents at Companies House on 20 August. They are the resolution to wind up, dated 5 August, a form 600 recording the appointment of a voluntary liquidator, an LIQ02 statement of affairs, and a change of registered office. (Companies House, Waypoint Aerotec Limited, filing history)

The statement of affairs is the document that will show what the company owned and what it owed when it stopped trading, and who is in the queue to be paid. Companies House lists all four filings as still processing, so none can be read yet.

The change of registered office moves the company off the airport. Its registered address becomes Anglia House, 6 Central Avenue, St Andrews Business Park, Norwich, which is the liquidators’ own office. (Companies House, Waypoint Aerotec Limited, filing history)

JETMS Completions has not filed the equivalent documents. Its filing history still ends with a confirmation statement lodged on 27 July, and the register still shows the company as active, with its registered office at Biggin Hill. The Gazette notice, not the register, is the record of the appointment. (Companies House, JETMS Completions Ltd, filing history)

The scale of what has closed

The size of the JETMS operation comes from its own audited accounts for the year to 31 December 2024, which we read when the meetings were called. They record an average of 49 people employed during that year, down from 67 the year before, and payroll costs falling from £3,470,288 to £2,792,819. The balance sheet showed net liabilities of £2,412,492. (Companies House, JETMS Completions Ltd, accounts to 31 December 2024)

Those are the last published figures. What the companies owe now will only be clear when the statements of affairs can be read.

What it means for residents

A creditors’ voluntary liquidation is the end of the company, not a rescue. It is different from administration, where a business can keep trading while a buyer is sought. Here the members have resolved to wind the companies up and liquidators are realising what is left for creditors. (GOV.UK, Options when a company is insolvent)

If you worked for either company, you can claim from the National Insurance Fund. The liquidator should give you a case reference number to do it. What you can claim for:

  • redundancy pay
  • unpaid wages
  • holiday pay
  • notice pay

(GOV.UK, Your rights if your employer is insolvent)

Suppliers and customers who are owed money have a contact point too. All four notices name Graeme Douglas at Price Bailey LLP, on 01603 709330 or at Graeme.Douglas@pricebailey.co.uk. (The Gazette, Appointment of Liquidators, JETMS Completions Ltd, 14 August 2026)

We will report the statements of affairs once Companies House makes them available. For the wider picture, see our Sevenoaks business news page, the July insolvency notices for the district and the latest claimant count figures.
