## From the administrators' statement

Sub Soil Surveys Limited (‘Surveys’, ‘the Company’) was incorporated on 14 June 1956 as a ground surveys and physical investigations company by John Ingham to undertake surveys and physical investigations of the ground The Company eventually operated alongside other companies, namely Sub Soil Holdings Limited, Sub Soil Consultancy Services Limited and Sub Soil Testing Limited, that formed the Sub Soil group.

Following his discharge from the armed forces where he served as an engineer, Mr Ingham had noticed that there were very few companies in the North West offering this type of service and he wanted to put his engineering expertise to good use

The Company used a variety of techniques such as boring and rotary coring to survey the ground as a diverse set of soils lie m the North West from upland peat through variable Glacial Deposits and outcropping bedrock to weak Alluvial Deposits which provide a stream of potential risks to be assessed and overcome. The Company acquired its own rigs and equipment over time which enabled :t to offer additional consultancy services
