According to the public insolvency entry, the firm’s official Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is “other engineering activities”, indicating it operated in the engineering services sector rather than as a general builder or installer.

A winding‑up petition was presented against the company on August 26, 2025, with the commencement of winding up dated October 15, 2025, marking the formal start of the compulsory liquidation procedure.

An Official Receiver based in Newcastle has been appointed as the insolvency office‑holder, taking control of the company’s affairs, assets and any investigation into its failure.

The filings do not set out how many employees have been affected or provide details of the specific engineering contracts.

Nor does the official record explain the projects that the business was involved with before the liquidation began.

Guidance for creditors and customers of companies in liquidation advises them to refer to the formal insolvency notices and contact the appointed office‑holder for information on submitting claims and the progress of the case.
