From the administrators' statement
Allard Construction Limited (“the Company”)
The Company was incorporated by members of the Allard family and commenced to trade in 1957, remaining under the same ownership structure until 2005 when Jeremy Sullivan and Sarah Sullivan acquired the share capital of the Company and were appointed directors. The last member of the Allard family resigned as a director at the end of October 2005. The principal activity of the Company was roofing installations and it focused largely on commercial and residential work in the London and south east areas.
The Company's board of directors held a meeting in early January 2020 to review its financial matters and concluded that it could not continue to trade and arrangements were made to take independent financial advice whilst trade was reduced to a minimum level.
