## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated on 4 March 2004 by its then directors and shareholders Stephen Lindsey and Simon Hombersley as an engineering technology company, specialising in the development of compressor technology used in many engineering and manufacturing processes.

The Company initially traded from rented premises at Unit 7 Foly Lane, Napton. However, in 2022, with the support of £7m of funding from SYMCA the Company opened a new smart factory in Doncaster. The factory in Doncaster housed the production line for the manufacture of its award winning, patented Blade Compressor.

At the date of administration, the Company employed a team of 52 staff, based across its two locations.
