The business had been operating since the late 19" century from vanous sites in and around East London, Essex and East Anglia. It moved to the Marks Tey location in the 1980’s

The Marks Tey site 1s owned by CFAS and leased to the Company for a combined rent of £313,500 per annum. We understand that there are significant rent arrears due to CFAS.
