Tyne and Wear kitchen furniture manufacturer has entered administration, ending a chapter for the family-run business that has served customers for more than three decades. Imperial Cabinet NE Limited appointed joint administrators on February 13, 2026, according to an official notice in The London Gazette published on February 20.

The company, incorporated on January 30, 2013, specialises in the manufacture of kitchen furniture under SIC code 31020. Headquartered at Haugh Lane, Addison Industrial Estate, Blaydon, Tyne & Wear, NE21 4TE, which also serves as its principal trading address, the firm operates from a showroom less than 10 minutes from the Metro Centre. As a family-run operation, Imperial Cabinet NE Ltd has specialised in planning and manufacturing kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, and home storage systems using timber, vinyl, or acrylic materials.

It has supplied trade customers with these products, along with granite and quartz worktops, for more than 30 years.

The administration was appointed by the High Court of Justice, Business and Property Court, Newcastle, on the Company & Insolvency List, case number CR-2026-000012.

Steven Brown (IP No. 10930) and Steve Kenny (IP No. 24030) of KBL Advisory Ltd, Stamford House, Northenden Road, Sale, Cheshire, M33 2DH, are the joint administrators. This location now acts as the company’s registered office.

No reasons for the administration are specified in public records. The company’s website remains active, promoting its showroom and bespoke services with no mention of the proceedings. A notice of intention to appoint administrators was filed on February 4, 2026, per court records.

Additional searches for publicity revealed limited coverage, including listings in insolvency databases such as CreditMan and Caseboard.io, but no major media coverage beyond the Gazette notice.

Companies House records show the firm as active, with the latest confirmation statement on January 1, 2026 and accounts due for March 31, 2026.

This event occurs against a backdrop of pressures in the manufacturing sector, though specifics on jobs or projects remain undisclosed.
