From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 30 June 1999 and traded as L&D Services from leasehold premises at Unit 2B & 2C, Burntbroome Court, Queenslie Industrial Estate, Glasgow, G33 4DZ. The Company's principal activity was the supply and fitting of kitchens and bathrooms for internal refurbishment of social housing properties across Scotland.
The business was started by one of its directors, Derek McCrone (Snr) in the 1980s, before incorporating as a limited company in June 1999. Growing as a family-owned business, two of Mr McCrone’s children, Derek and Karl McCrone, were appointed as directors in April 2012, having served their apprenticeships with the business and worked for a number of years under their father. By late 2021, the Company employed approximately 60 staff and had approximately 20 regular sub-contractors.
The Directors hold a majority shareholding in the Company, with a minority shareholding held by a small number of other employees.
