Facade Group, a construction company that claims to have worked on The Shard and Fulham FC's stadium, has been ordered into compulsory liquidation.

Facade Group Ltd has been ordered into compulsory liquidation by the High Court. The construction company, headquartered in Cardiff, was subject to the winding-up order on 4 November, with the official receiver appointed as liquidator the same date. HM Revenue and Customs presented the petition to wind up the company on 16 September. A winding-up order places a company into compulsory liquidation, with a liquidator responsible for dealing with its assets and creditors.

Facade Group says on its website that it has provided services at prominent UK landmarks including The Shard, Chelsea Bridge and Canary Wharf. The firm also describes work at Fulham FC's Craven Cottage, including painting over existing logos on the Putney stand and repainting the roof ahead of new sponsorship branding. The company lists glass polishing, maintenance, water testing, sound testing and rope access among its services.

According to its website, Facade Group says its team has more than 70 years of combined experience and that the business works across the UK. Other projects listed include water testing in central London and Manchester, and abseiling work for a client in London. The company was incorporated in March 2021, with its registered office in Aberkenfig, Bridgend.
