From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 19 August 1999 and remained a dormant entity until September 2009 when a connected company, Omega Wolf Limited COWL”) entered administration in July of the same year. The Company's directors Michael Irwin and Mark Adams, through contacts within the industry, were able to take on the OWL contracts. Michael Irwin funded the business personally, initially investing £200,000.
The Company operated as a distributor of predominantly Wolf branded DIY tools, power tools, and cleaning products to end users and other retailers, trading initially from a 6,000 SQ FT site in Mansfield before moving to a 40,000 SQ FT site and more recently from a leased premises in Hucknall, Nottingham. Importing products from Europe and Asia to sell through its own website, Amazon, Ebay, Shopify, and also directly from a store at the trading premises.
The Wolf branded products were sold under a licence agreement with Wolf Licences Limited, a third party with common directors.
