From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated in March 2016 and functioned as the ultimate holding company for the WCM Group since the Company acquired the entire issued share capital of the Group’s principal trading subsidiary, WCME in August 2016.
WCME, a UK-based automotive manufacturer supplying specialist components, underwent a significant ownership change in August 2025 when a 51% shareholding was acquired by David Roberts and his family.
On 3 March 2026, following an application to the Court from the Directors and the Secured Creditor, WCME entered administration, with Timothy Bateson and Ryan Grant of Interpath Lid (“Interpath”) appointed as Joint Administrators (“WCME Administrators”). Following their appointment, the WCME Administrators have continued to trade the business while exploring the potential to sell the business as a going concern (see Section 3.3).
