Our business had reported lower than anticipated sales over a six-month period and had also suffered two quality failures which resulted in corrective work being undertaken to the expense of the company. As a result of this, the company was under increasing pressure from creditors with some taking legal action. We contacted UK Administrators who assessed the situation and placed the company into administration with the administrators trading the business. We had significant orders already placed and the administrators had obtained the support of the secured creditor and main customers to continue trading out of administration. This was a relief as we have 30 members of staff who were all retained with no redundancies. The administrators traded the business for 9 months during which time it returned to profitability. The whole process was a huge relief for us.
