It has 3 serving directors.

An administrator's first aim, under the Insolvency Act 1986, is rescuing the company as a going concern; if that is not reasonably practicable, a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up; and failing both, realising property to pay secured or preferential creditors. Source
