From the administrators' statement
The business was set up in 1993 by Alan Greenhorn who initially traded from home. Within 1 year he had generated a number of contracts and relocated to some small premises. The Company was incorporated on 1 June 2000. Over the next few years the Company continued to upsize to bigger premises. They bought the current premises at 2-4 Lithgow Place, College Milton industrial Estate, East Kilbride, Glasgow in 2005.
The principal trading activity of the Company was the installation and repair of beer raising equipment eg. pumps, lines, regulators and gas. The Company had training facilities on site to train the engineers and also a warehouse which stocked spare parts for repairs.
The company had historically been profitable but in the year to 31 May 2010 turnover fell by circa £400,000 (circa 20%) and the company made a loss of £77,593.
