From the administrators' statement
> The Company was incorporated on 22 April 1987 and operates from property in Bo’ness which is owed by Ballantine Boness Iron.Co Limited (“BBICL”). The Company is owned and operated by BBICL and was purchased to capitalise in the rise of conservation works throughout the UK. The Company’s principal activity is steel fabricators and metalwork engineers.
> The incorporation of the Company makes BBICL the only Foundry in the UK to carry out full contractual works in house, from design through to site erection. The Company specialises in the structural fitting of cast iron projects carrying out everything from initial site surveys and the production of method statements and risk assessments to the final fabrication and fitting of the structure. Over the years this has included everything from bridges and bandstands to kilometres of railings over undulating land or 16 metre palatial gates in the Middle East.
> Whilst the Company has a number of customers, the Administration of BBICL ultimately led to the Company being placed into Administration.
