From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 25 September 1986 trading in the mecha sector, specialising in camera hire, crew hire, production management, technical support, green screen studio hire and post-production services. The business grew over the next thirty years and obtained contracts across the Umited Kingdom and Europe.
In 2015, following an industry-wide downturn in the economy, the Company encountered adverse trading conditions causing it to expenence difficulty in meeting its obligations as and when they fell due This resulted in the directors seeking a sale of the Company but ultimately they failed to secure a buyer
As the directors or shareholders were not m a position to inject further funds into the Company, the directors sought insolvency advice from BDO LLP (‘BDO’) and on 4 September 2015, an application for the appointment of Joint Administrators was made by Ms Hazel Roulston being a director of the Company, pursuant to Paragraph 22 of Schedule Bi to the Insolvency Act 1986. On that same date Antony David Nygate and William Matthew Humphries Tait were appointed Joint Administrators
