From the administrators' statement
The Company was Incorporated on 8 August 2000 trading in the charity sector, specialising in telephone fundraising The business grew rapidly over the next ten years, operating from four sites across the United Kingdom (London, Bedford, Nottingham and Bristol) and worked with some of the largest charities in the United Kingdom
In July 2015, following adverse media publicity, the majority of the Company’s active clients suspended or terminated its contracts with immediate effect As a result GoGen was unable to continue to trade and consequently to meet its liabilities as they fell due and therefore the directors sought the advice of BDO LLP (‘BDO’)
On 28 July 2015 an application for the appointment of Administrators was made by Robert Metrebian, being a director of the Company, pursuant to Paragraph 22 of Schedule Bi of the Insolvency Act 1986 On that same date Martha Thompson and Francis Graham Newton were appointed Joint Administrators
