From the administrators' statement
Quantuma were approached by the director, David Fripp, on 24 January 2023 to seek advice with regard to the sale of the property. He informed us that the property had been subject to a police raid, whereby it transpired that illegal activity had been conducted from some office space, allegedly by an informal tenant.
Following an onsite meeting on 26 January 2023, Quantuma were subsequently instructed to assist with an Administration process, in conjunction with the Administration of the subsidiary Williams.
Following an inspection of the property, it quickly become apparent that the electrical wiring had been compromised as a result of the illegal activity. An electrician inspected the wiring and advised that it had bypassed the meter. In addition, the re-wiring had led to the emergency power lever being disabled. The electrician advised that the electricity supply needed to be made safe and this required the electricity board to initially deal with the meter.
