From the administrators' statement
The Company was formed on 16 May 1935 as Cleaning Waste Limited and traded under that name until 34 December 1985. At that date the Company name was changed to Branta Group plc, under which it was known until a further name change, to its current name Branta Group Limited, took place on 23 March 2007.
The Company traded from two leased premises, being Unit 3a Skelmanthopre Technology Park, Standback Way, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD8 9GA (“Unit 3a”) (premises which are owned by Minerva SIPP DMW Barnes (2008) which is the pension scheme of Dominic Barnes, director of the Company) and Unit 4b Skelmanthorpe Technology Park, Standback Way, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD8 9GA (“Unit 4b”) (a property which was leased from an unconnected party).
Unit 3a was utilised for the purposes of operating the Zybax side of the business, being the manufacture and distribution of microbiological cleaning products used by predominantly the healthcare and tourism industries. This property also housed the Company's offices.
