From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 13 December 2002 with Gareth Huleston and Lynda Richards being appointed as directors. The Company operated from Upton Magna Business Park, Shrewsbury with its office support being located in York.
The Company provided landscape services nationally to large Companies, commercial developers, top 50 construction companies, and the public sector with most of their work being located in the south east of England. Services provided included Tree Surgery & Arboriculture, Ground Maintenance fencing, and Forestry & Woodland Management.
The Company recently encountered difficulties in 2017, initially due to the adverse weather conditions which limited its ability to complete projects. Also during 2017 a number of shareholders exited the business. In order to fund payment to the exiting shareholders, the Company borrowed approximately £50,000 from BCRS. Business Loans Limited (‘BCRS”) As part of this transaction, a debenture was granted in favour of BCRS.
