## From the administrators' statement

What were the main causes of the Company's difficulties?

Due Stephen Wells passing away in April 2026 and there being no active director the business was facing management difficulties and with no clear structure the business was not meeting its payments and the business was no longer receiving funding from Brooks.

Brooks then told the Company on 11 May that they would be coming to collect their machinery from the trading premises the next day due to non-payment of the loan. Upon hearing that news the Bibby, took steps to appoint David Kemp and Richard Hunt Joint Administrators of the Company on the 11 May.
