‘The company has not ceased to trade. The administration is necessary because
of the company’s financial position and to ensure that it can continue to
operate, and to ensure the best interests of customers and creditors are
served.’
The purpose of the Administration Order is to seek to ensure the best long
term solution can be adopted for customers and creditors, and whilst doing so,
continuing the operations of the company.’
We will be working closely with management and do not envisage any major
changes to procedures on a day-to-day basis. Our key objective is to stabilize
the underlying businesses.’
