From the administrators' statement
The Group began experiencing a decline in trading performance and liquidity levels in 2023, attributed to budgetary constraints for its key customers which impacted shift volumes.
In September 2023, the Group identified a requirementfor additional funding to navigate a forecastcash shortfall, with mitigation strategies such as deferring capital expenditure on fleet vehicles and negotiating more favourable customer paymentterms deemed insufficient to improve liquidityalone.
This decline in performance and a forecast funding requirement resulted in the Group, along with PNC, approaching Teneo to conducta high-level review of the Group’s shortterm cash flow forecastand assess the options available to the Group.
