From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 22 June 2009 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of EWM (Topco) Limited and the Company's ultimate parent undertaking is The Edinburgh Woollen Mill (Group) Limited (EWM Group”). The Company is registered in Scotland with the registered office at Waverley Mills, Langholm, Dumfriesshire DG13 OEB.
The Company originally was a non-trading holding Company for investments but changed activity to the provision of logistics services during 2012. The Company provided aircraft logistics and charters for external clients using both jets and helicopters. Originally formed with one helicopter and one jet, followed by additional ones, all of which have had extensive refurbishment over the years, including a repaint and upgrade in 2019. The aircraft were operated by third party companies under air operator’s certificates issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. The third-party companies were responsible for the pilots and crew, recharging the costs on a monthly basis.
Other group companies include Peacocks Stores Limited, Duvetco Limited, Jaeger Retail Limited and EMW. The Company’s ultimate beneficial owner is PD.
