From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 13 September 1991 and commenced trading shortly thereafter. More recently, in June 2019, the Company was acquired by the current shareholder.
The Company traded from leased premises at Unit 6, Dobson Park Industrial Estate, Wigan WN2 2DY. The principal trading activity of the Company was the manufacture of lifting and handling equipment.
The initial trading months of July and August 2019, following the acquisition of the business, were as per forecast performance. The Company was then faced with the issue whereby its main customer, who represented approximately 70% of all sales, delayed the placing of volume orders until late 2020/early 2021. This had a significant effect on all areas of the business.
