## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 1980 and traded as a road freight transportation business. The Company is a subsidiary of CFB which is the main trading entity and parent company of the Group that operate in the metals recycling and processing business, mainly based in Rotherham.

At the date of the administration appointment, the Company had 20 employees.

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. It is also subject to a cross guarantee and debenture in favour of the Secured Creditor, IGF.
