Difficult. Everest went bust last year.

Oh dear, how sad.

Everest 2020 Ltd is the phoenix company, same directors, same slogan,
same postcode.

I thought directors of a defunct company were not allowed to be a
director of a company with a similar name?

There are 3 ways around this rule:
1) To change the name of the defunct company just before liquidation.
2) To set up a company preceding the defunct company going bust. The
company can then have a similar name.
3) Ask court for permission to become a director for the new company.

For the sheer hell of it the timeline is:

25th March 2020 Incorporation of EVEREST 2020 LIMITED
8th June 2020 Insolvency of E REALISATIONS 2020 LIMITED
3rd July 2020 Change of name from EVEREST LIMITED to E REALISATIONS
2020 LIMITED

Not many directors are common to both companies, one is Richard Mathieu
LEIGHTON, there may be more.

It does rather smell when another simi9lar named company is setup months
before insolvency by an 'interested' party.
