Our Restructuring and Advisory Division administrators appointed over Solihull construction firm

Our Restructuring and Advisory Division Advisory Limited’s managing directors, Nick Simmonds and Chris Newell have been appointed as joint administrators of West Midlands construction firm, Greswolde Construction Limited (“Greswolde”) on 10 August 2022.

Established in 1983, and headquartered in Solihull, Greswolde specialised in new build, design and build, refurbishments and fit-outs. The Company’s latest accounts reported a turnover of £19.4m. The business employed 24 people, whose jobs are affected.

Managing director and joint administrator, Nick Simmonds said, “Along with many other businesses in the construction sector, Greswolde has experienced unprecedented trading conditions over the last couple of years as a direct result of the global pandemic. Its customers have been substantially disrupted by unpredictable economic conditions and the business has experienced severe supply chain challenges. Having exhausted all options for the business, it is with deep regret that this business is no longer able to continue to trade and has ceased to operate with immediate effect.”

“Our immediate priorities are to provide the support required by employees to enable them to make any necessary redundancy claims, and to work with the management team and their clients to affect an orderly handover of incomplete projects in order to attempt to allow them to be progressed and completed by industry peers.”

“Our role as administrators will be to maximise recoveries and realisations to make a distribution to Greswolde’s secured or preferential creditors.”
