## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated and commenced trading on 17 October 1963.

The Company previously operated as a waste and recycling haulage company and transported scrap metals and aggregate materials.

In the lead up to the appointment of Administrators, the Company experienced a time of unprecedented financial distress that can be traced back to the COVID-pandemic and more recently to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The COVID-pandemic restricted the movement of road hauliers and led to a shortage of drivers, whilst the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to a sharp and sustained spike in fuel costs. Both issues greatly impaired the Company's ability to trade and led to losses and, in turn, to a build-up of tax arrears.
