## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 1977 by Francis Humphrey, operating as heating and plumbing engineers. The family run business traded successfully for over 40 years in and around Sussex undertaking every aspect of heating and plumbing work, offering a complete design service for domestic, commercial and industrial customers. In 2003 Richard Humphrey, Francis’ son, joined the board and the Company traded successfully for a number of years.

The Company undertook a mixture of large contract work and smaller domestic work, but relied heavily on the large scale contracts. Over recent years, the Company was not being awarded the same number of larger contracts and was struggling with maintaining its profit margin.

Francis retired from the board in 2015, leaving Richard Humphrey as the sole director.
