From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 24 November 2014 to provide high-quality construction support and waste management services. The Company has undergone several name changes, having traded as EM Recycling Ltd from 25 Aug 2017 to 14 May 2025. The Company traded at leased premises at Cotes Park Lane, Somercotes, Alfreton, DE55 4NJ although it is believed that trade took place from the director's home in recent months following the Administration of Leedale Ltd.
For most of its history, the Company was based in Alfreton, Derbyshire, since where it developed a strong reputation across the Midlands and the wide UK. The Company offered a breadth range of services alongside associated companies namely, Leedale Limited, Pro Earthmoving Limited and UK Pro Group Limited and is one of four subsidiaries of The Pro Group of Companies Ltd. Services offered across the group included aggregates supply, haulage, plant hire, demolition and road sweeping. Over the years, the Company served a diverse mix of clients, from large construction firms and local authorities to commercial and domestic customers, providing tailored solutions that earned it a well-established standing in the industry. The Pro Group as a whole experienced many years of successful growth and trading, expanding its fleet and staff to meet increasing demand and invested heavily in equipment and personnel to maintain a competitive edge.
The Company has seen several changes in directorships over the years, with Matthew Moore acting as director from 1 September 2021 to 31 May 2025 before being replaced by Lee Walkup on 1 June 2025. Whilst not formally appointed as director until recently, it is our understanding that Lee Walkup, alongside other family members, played a role in managing the business since 2017, if not from inception.
