From the administrators' statement
The Company operates in the leisure and amusement sector operating a multipurpose leisure facility, including multi-story soft play, café and infra-red shooting facility based in the North East of England. The Company also operates a standalone café on a separate site within a public park. The Company’s combined workforce across these sites numbers up to 50 members of staff.
The Company was incorporated in March 2012 and began trading in October 2012 as ‘The Play Factory’ in Skelton-in-Cleveland. The Company had converted a disused warehouse space into a children’s soft play centre complete with climbing frame, slides, go karts, 160 cover café and full catering facilities along with party rooms and office space.
The Company traded successfully during the initial years during this period buoyed by a significant footfall. The Company began searching for additional locations to compliment the current operations.
