Liberty Steel pipe business faces winding up petition
The Guardian
|August 07, 2025
Tax authorities have filed a winding-up petition against Liberty Steel's pipe business in Hartlepool, the latest sign of the pressure on the metals empire controlled by Sanjeev Gupta.
Court filings list HM Revenue and Customs as the petitioner in a winding-up petition against Liberty Pipes (Hartlepool) filed on Tuesday. The listing suggests the petition relates to an unpaid VAT bill.
Liberty said everything it owed had been settled and there was no threat to the Hartlepool site, which employs 178 people. A spokesperson said: "Liberty Pipes Hartlepool has no outstanding payments due to HMRC. We are in touch with HMRC to have the petition removed."
