From the administrators' statement
The Company was a leading UK manufacturer of advanced rail solutions, with a heritage dating back over 90
years. The Company specialised in designing and building bespoke locomotives and rolling stock for mining, tunnelling, metro and mainline railways for a number of global customers in demanding environments, with a focus on low and zero-emission technologies, including diesel, battery, trolley-powered and hybrid engines.
Given the nature of its operations, the Company engaged in substantial contractual projects with UK and international customers, resulting in cash inflows being tied to defined project milestones.
