From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 22 June 1984 and its principal activity comprised of designing, implementing and maintaining network infrastructure and IT hardware systems. The Company employed 67 employees at the point of administration, of which around 15 were based at the head office site at Runcorn. The remainder of the employees are based at various client-site locations across the UK.
Generally, the Company’s business could be split into two business units. The first business unit, termed the ‘managed services division’, provided maintenance services and small scale building services to a variety of clients across the UK on a rolling purchase order basis, updating clients’ IT infrastructure and providing a variety of network infrastructure management and IT support services. The second ‘build’ division worked within the construction sector, installing IT hardware into various building projects.
The Company was a member of the wider Dimension Data Group (the “Group”). We are only appointed over the Company itself. None of the other UK Group companies are subject to insolvency proceedings and the closure of the Company does not impact Dimension Data Group's core business of systems integration and IT managed. services for hybrid IT in the UK, Europe or globally.
