The business enjoyed steady growth however was making a loss [n 2010, the business secured a contract with a major supermarket chain however, due to the increasing volume of orders being placed, the cash flow position drastically worsened and the Company breached tts credit terms with a number of milk suppliers Seventeen of the suppliers placed the Company ‘on stop’ Immediately prior to the Administration the Company was only being supplied with milk by five local suppliers and as a result, the Company could not supply all its customers and lost several customers to another local competitor

We were contacted by the Company to carry out a review of the Company's financial position and met with the Director, Mr Hegarty, on 20 September 2011 The Company was expenencing creditor pressure and was struggling to obtain ongoing supplies to complete orders Furthermore, the Company operated an invoice discounting agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland Invoice Finance (“RBSIF”) who had issued a demand letter to the Directors for breaching the terms of their agreement It was evident that the Company would be unable to make wage payments to its employees without a significant cash injection
