The Problem
Following a series of exceptional circumstances the company experienced crippling cash flow issues. As a result of the downturn of the oil and gas industry there was a decline in orders from offshore customers. The company also suffered the loss of a key client who set up as a competitor; this loss was compounded when several key members of staff defected to this newly formed rival company.
“After submitting my '60 Second Test' I received a complimentary Insolvency Options guide packed full of useful information. The team of insolvency specialists phoned me back in less than 10 minutes after reviewing my details and guided me through the next steps. Really helpful! Thank you Sophie!”
