From the administrators' statement
In October 2022, The Company was suffering from cashflow problems as a result of project overruns, increased costs and delayed customer payments. As a result Aldermore Bank PLC (in their capacity as a secured lender providing a Confidential Invoice Discounting facility) approached FRP seeking professional advice regarding a short term funding forecast and cash flow management.
Having met with the managing director of the Company on 24 October 2022 and having reviewed the information provided, FRP advised that the company was insolvent due to creditor pressure and ongoing legal action.
Furthermore, FRP advised that an accelerated M&A process should be undertaken in order to attempt to secure continuation of project delivery for clients thus protecting the goodwill of the Company and the debtor tedger.
