From the administrators' statement
Our proposals for achieving the purpose of the administration will provide detailed information in relation to the Company. The following background information is provided to assist creditors who may have limited knowledge of the Company and its affairs to better understand the reasons for the administration.
The Company was incorporated on 14 October 2005 providing plant hire for the purposes of groundworks and demolition in the construction industry. The Company formally operated from a leased premises in Ivor and subsequently moved to its current premises in 2022 in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
The Company initially started trading with just a few machines and a limited work force, undertaking small but good quality profitable contracts. Work levels gradually increased and the Company became the main contractor in the construction industry in the London area. The Company subsequently was contacted to undertake the building works associated with the Olympic Games in London 2012, which, as well as being a lucrative contract, also increased the profile of the Company.
