From the administrators' statement
The Company is a subsidiary of CFB which is the main trading entity and parent company of the Group that operates in the metals recycling and processing business, mainly based in Rotherham.
The Company does not have any employees although the Group employed 169 staff.
The Company entered administration following the administration of its parent company, CFB, given the financial and operational pressures shared across the Group. As a member of the same VAT group, the Company is jointly and severally liable for the VAT liabilities of the Group. The Company had insufficient resources to meet this liability. In addition, the Company, along with the other members in the Group, is liable to the indebtedness to IGF.
