## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated on 3 June 2005 as an electrical contractor

The Company traded reasonably successfully and achieved steady growth In its customer base Annual turnover increased to approximately £5-6m and profits of up to £100,000 were achieved each year

However, by the end of 2010, the downturn in the economic climate had significantly affected the construction industry As a result, contracts would be agreed on smal profit margins which were further eroded by increases in material and other costs The directors also noticed that debt collection was substantially slower than usual and delay by customers in settling invoices increased finance costs
