2010

Contrary to expectations, the year started slowly with no new cases in January. However, the bad weather caused increasing disruption which in turn pushed several small businesses over the edge:

New cases in February:

Chec Electrics (UK) Ltd *ClaimForm*

This previously busy electrical contractor was brought to a collapse due to the general recession in the building industry.

Holmfirth Cakery Ltd *ClaimForm*

Long established bakers and confectioners - ceased to be viable following retirement of original owner and increase in local competition.

March

David Robert James Love (IVA) *Claim Form*

Huddersfield based engineering firm.

April has been a fairly busy month with several new liquidations:

MAP Heating & Plumbing Services  Ltd *ClaimForm*

This previously busy plumbing contractor was brought to a collapse because of the general recession in the building industry.

Pannal Dry Cleaners Ltd *ClaimForm*

Unexpected rates and VAT liability and local competition meant that a restructuring was necessary.

Spring Vale Eng Ltd *ClaimForm*

General engineering company based in Brighouse. High level of employee entitlements meant that the company could not contract quickly enough in face of the current recession.

Edward Henry Ltd *ClaimForm*

A wholesaler of picture frames. Cheap imports from China and the general recession brought this Bradford based business to a end.

In addition, May is shaping up to be busy with the following cases already in progress:

Agenda Creative Ltd *ClaimForm*

This small IT firm - based in Huddersfield collapsed following the loss of one of its main contracts.

Wizard Property Maintenance Ltd *ClaimForm*

A small joinery firm in Barnsley, Specializing in public house refurbishment - brought down by the recession in the building industry.

Select Property Services (Yorkshire) Ltd *ClaimForm*

Huddersfield based plumbing and heating contractor. The downturn in the construction industry meant that the company was unable to compete in a much reduced marketplace.

June

Summer Wine Developments Ltd *ClaimForm*

Operator of a children’s play facility in Honley known as ‘Safari Sams’. Increased competition and a general cut back in consumer spending caused this well established business to fail. 

George Booth & Sons (Joiners) Ltd *ClaimForm*

Long established and respected building contractor based in New Mill, near Huddersfield.  Cut backs in local authority contracts and a major bad debt meant that this company could no longer continue in business. 

Kevin Paul Newbould (IVA) *ClaimForm*

Castleford based haulage contractor. Accumulated debts - especially to H.M.Revenue & Customs led to this Debtor seeking and obtaining an Individual Voluntary Arrangement with his creditors.

Small company in Great Ayton, Cleveland operating as a courier firm and also as a delicatessean.

Profit From Quality Ltd *ClaimForm*

Quality control company.

Code Blue Publishing Ltd *ClaimForm*

August

Gino Peter Capone (IVA) *ClaimForm*

Halifax based plumber who got into personal financial dificulties with teh downturn in the construction industry. 

BB Suppliers Ltd *ClaimForm*

Doncaster based provider of security services under the name of ‘Paramount Security’. Incresed competition and a number of successful Employment Tribunal decisions meant that the company was unable to continue.

September

Now that the summer holidays are over and the children are back at school, it is expected that a number of enquiries received over the last two months will turn into jobs within the next few weeks.  

 

Anyone wishing to claim as a creditor of any of the above companies, should download the appropriate claim form and submit it to me by post in the normal manner.

                                                                                       

In addition to the above specific cases, I am continuing to see and advise large numbers of individuals, where bankruptcy is the most appropriate course of action.
