From the administrators' statement
The Company, whose origins date back to 1906 and was subsequently incorporated in 1963, was a fourth-generation family owned business and a leading scrap metal recycler in the Midlands.
The Company, which operated from two sites in Willenhall and Rowey Regis, specialised in the acquisition, processing and distribution of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and nonmetal products, ready for the manufacture of new goods.
There were 46 employees at the Company as at the date of our appointment, in addition to two statutory directors.
