## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in August 2014 to undertake development of residential properties on the former site of Freshford Mill, a former manufacturing site dating back to the late-17th Century, on the banks of the River Frome in Freshford, Somerset (“the Site”). The Company was incorporated alongside Freshford Mill Management Company Limited (“FMMC”) which was incorporated to hold the freehold for the Site.

The Site was acquired by FMMC from the former Administrators the Site’s former developers Ypres Rose Developments Limited. The Company’s former director Tony Dowse was initially dealing with the development of the Site, with current directors David Boden and Lawrence Pinkney assisting and providing fundraising. Wellesley Finance Plc (“Wellesley”) provided secured lending.

The Site itself was a challenging project, given the partially completed buildings on Site, dilapidated mill buildings, unresolved contamination issues and major flooding risks, together with difficult road access. The Company undertook necessary surveys and accounted for the costs of the development.
