From the administrators' statement
• The Trading Company has been affected by a number of factors over recent years, which have culminated in the Trading Company’s inability to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
• Following the UK’s decision to leave the EU, additional labour and import costs arose. Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent global supply chain disruption and inflation impacted profitability in the following financial years, FY21, FY22 and FY23 YTD.
