## From the administrators' statement

JLF Manufacturing Ltd has been trading since 1925, initially in Birmingham and then moving to the current premises, in Aldridge, in the mid 1960's.

The Company's original trading name was JL Float Limited and it manufactured metal ball floats and metal spinnings, then expanding into small presswork and welded assemblies when plastics became dominant in the domestic float market.

In 2008 there was a management buyout with the current Directors taking part in that process. However, within 3 months of compietion, the UK then encountered the financial crisis of 2008, which, we are advised, had a devastating effect to the turnover of the Company and resulting in the need to make a third of the workforce redundant
