Speciality Steel UK wound up by court in 2025 after Greensill lender collapse
Speciality Steel UK Limited (formerly Liberty Steel UK) · Specialty steel manufacturing
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Collateral & double pledge
Companies House charges would show security granted to the lender.
Can mislead when: Pledges made off the registries stay invisible, and vague invoice descriptions are hard to match.
Regulatory & litigation records
Insolvency and litigation records would show creditor claims and the winding-up order.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.
Governance signals
Group structure and director records would show the Liberty group links.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
