## From the administrators' statement

Mr Woodcock and Mr Robinson started the company in 1979 initially cleaning telephone boxes Mr Woodcock retired in 2000 selling his 50% shareholding to Mr & Mrs Morgan

The company in 2000 had contracts with Birmingham City Council which were 90% of all work These contracts were for highway work and drainage work In April 2000 Severn Trent Water cancelled its agency agreement with the focal authorites and gave the contract to ARM Ltd We became 1 of 29 contractors required to repair the sewers around Birmingham, over the next 3 years this narrowed down to just 3 companies

ARM Ltd changed its name to Enterprise Plc due to ts own restructure In 2006 R W Services took on the staff and work for the Worcestershire and Gloucestershire area for Enterprise as well as the Midlands The operatives and Staff had to grow to accommodate this We were promised contnuation of work if we took on these two difficult areas
