## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in October 2022 as a joint venture between Mark Bond (“MB”) and Louis Birch (‘LB’, “the Director’). The Company was established to provide passive fire protection solutions to businesses. MB had prior experience in this area and an existing client base. LB was brought in as an investor and also able to provide back office support through sharing his existing businesses’ staff. MB was the salesman and overseer of the work undertaken.

The Company traded well from inception.

As the business moved on, MB and LB began to have differing visions for the Company and how it was run with issues arising over spending. Ultimately, this led to MB leaving the Company on 15 December 2024. The ongoing issues remained and LB was left with the Company having no real knowledge of the business from a customer perspective and unable to resolve customer disputes and issues. Creditors began pressing for payment and the Company was not in funds to discharge their costs. LB suffered significant stress and anxiety over the situation and was struggling to cope with the mounting pressure.
