From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 4 November 1971 and operated as a control and process automation specialist. The business designed, manufactured, installed and maintained a wide range of high-performance automation and electrical systems, operating from two leasehold premises in Deeside and one in Burslem.
Turnover for the year ended 30 June 2023 was £1.2m and a profit of £617,654 was generated. The following year, for the period ended 30 June 2024, a reduced turnover of £9.7m was achieved, and a loss before tax of £335,323 was incurred.
The Company’s financial difficulties arose following the business entering into a major contract with a supplier that was initially expected to generate a significant level of turnover. Due to unforeseen delays, rescheduling of work and increased costs, the project took longer than anticipated and became more expensive, failing to produce the expected level of cash flow.
