From the administrators' statement
Davie Malcolm Transport Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) was incorporated on 21 January 2004 by directors David Malcolm and Donald Heuchan.
The Company's principal trading activity was haulage contracting at 63 King Street, Castle Douglas, Dumfriesshire, DG7 1AG. The Company also traded from premises at Spicer House, Lympne Industrial Estate, Lympne, Hythe, CT21 4LR.
David Malcolm commenced trading as a sole trader in eariy 2000, then incorporated in 2004. The business provided haulage specifically to the meat industry, using specialist trailers. The director has advised that the business suffered heavily over the years, firstly following BSE in 2007, in 2008 Mr Malcolm suffered severe ill health and was forced to take time out of the business. In 2011 his son left the business taking with him several key customers. More recently the horse meat scandal and spiralling fuel costs have created significant and substantial losses.
