In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded no director changes, charges, change of address or accounts. It has 1 outstanding charge, held by Hsbc UK Bank PLC. It has 4 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
