The Company was established in 1980 by Mr Dennis Holdsworth, trading as Dennis Cox It commenced as an electrical contractor and subsequently diversified into mechanical engineering, providing services including design and build, electrical, maintenance, and fit-outs for clents within the residential and commercial construction industries
In 2002 it became a limited company with Mr Holdsworth being the sole director and shareholder It traded profitably from its head office in Datchet, Surrey for many years and took on a number of contracts with an average value of between £4m and £8m, including works on the Stratford Athletes Village for the 2012 London Olympics
In 2009 Mr Holdsworth took a step back from the business to pursue personal interests During this time the Company undertook two large contracts both in the region of £12m These contracts were outside the Company's normal scope of work and we understand these projects were run at a loss Together with this, and the miss-management of two further contracts during 2011 and 2012, losses of £3 9m were incurred during 2012
