A source close to Floors-2-Go has alleged that up to seven senior managers, who have put their own money into the company, could also lose their investment.

A spokeswoman for administrator Kroll said: 'Unfortunately, employees made redundant upon the appointment of the joint administrators did not receive their final pay for the period prior to the appointment due to cash flow constraints of the business.'
