From the administrators' statement
The group was historically profitable but started incurring losses in 2016. The group's margins were squeezed by increasing costs and issues around securing new contracts.
One of the directors of the group, Michael Cuddy, was taken ill in November 2016.
Some financial irregularities were discovered and the other director and joint shareholder at the time, John Cuddy, reported this to Barclays Bank Pic (Barclays/the Bank).
