From the administrators' statement
At the date of the Joint Administrators’ appointment, the Company employed 72 members of staff. The Company operated from the Group’s head office in Scunthorpe and had operations at seven sites across the UK.
The Company provided FM and Site Survey services. The FM business provided both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ FM services, where hard FM services relate to regulatory maintenance services such as gas, plumbing and heating, and soft FM services relate to non-technical services such as waste management or pest control. The entire business division had 43 employees, with the primary focus being on hard FM in the healthcare sector. Site Survey services comprised 12 employees who undertook topographical surveys, floor plans and laser scanning of sites.
Historically, the FM contracts were serviced by CCL whilst the Company remained dormant. (In February 2019, employees who worked on the FM contracts, including the relevant head office staff, were transferred from CCL to the Company. Any new FM contracts won from this point on were contracted with the Company. Whilst all seven FM contracts were then administered by the Company, five of the FM contracts already in place remained contractually in CCL due to the costs and complexity of contract novations.
