“The company experienced a gradual loss of custom over the past year and, as a result, has experienced a deterioration in its working capital position,” BDO business restructuring partner Matthew Tait said.

Going forward, we will seek to achieve a sale of the company’s facilities and assets and maximise recoveries for creditors.”
