The Company traded in ironmongery, most specifically door furniture, which it sold to both retail customers and building contractors

The business, which traded from leased premises in Swindon had been trading for over 30 years and was incorporated in 2006 At its peak, tumover was £3m employing 12 people, however more recently, turnover had dropped to £1 8m The employees were made redundant on 6 August when the Company ceased to trade

The Company began to expenence financial difficultes as a consequence of the general economical downtum and the effects on the construction industry A number of customers’ contracts had been put on hold or scrapped altogether which gave the Company no certainty over its future orders
