The Company operated from a leasehold site in Fulham, London.

In the months leading to the Admumuistrators’ appointment, the Company’s contract services business had seen a decline in new orders which placed a considerable working capital strain upon the Company due to historical unpaid debts.
In September 2012 the Company did not gain a potential new contract expected to be worth approximately £500,000, which combined with delays on another large contract resulted in the Director considering the future viability of the business in consultation with his business advisor
