The court might opt to allow service post, or delivery personally via bailiffs, or another means permitted by the CPR (court rules), which might include fax or electronic means, potentially, although it may potentially require the consent of the defendant.
Bearing in mind time is of the essence here, as a hearing will be listed quickly, it will be a matter for the Judge as to how the company and/or individual directors are served no doubt.
I've not seen the papers so I've no idea how they were served. They could have been served by process server on the same day as issue but left unopened until Friday! Makes no difference in reality. They've clearly been served.
