  • Isle of Shuna on 12 August 2010
    Seafood processor Isle of Shuna has fallen into the hands of administrators after the directors were unable to find enough working capital. The Shetland-based company was established in 2005 and has been involved in the harvesting, processing and marketing of fresh mussels. PricewaterhouseCoopers has been appointed administrators, and said it offered an opportunity for an industry player to step in. Joint administrator Graham Frost said: "Isle of Shuna has grown successfully over the years and is well regarded by customers. The business had encountered cash flow problems in recent months. The board have since reluctantly concluded that without additional working capital and investment this path is no longer feasible on a standalone basis."
  • Alexandra on 12 July 2010
    Uniforms supplier Alexandra has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as administrators after announcing it no longer has sufficient funding to continue trading. The company based in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, directly employs 484 people at locations including Thornbury, Bristol, Swindon, Langley, Edinburgh and Uddingston, near Glasgow. PwC partners Rob Lewis, Rob Hunt and Derek Howell have been appointed. The directors of the company recently abandoned an equity fund raising following weak demand which resulted in pressures on the company’s working capital requirements. The company’s subsidiaries are not currently subject to insolvency procedures, but their affairs are being reviewed by administrators. The subsidiaries employ 174 full time equivalent staff in Morocco, seven in the UK, eight in Southern Ireland and eight in Holland. The administrators said that they have held talks with a number of interested parties and are looking to sell the business as a going concern.

This ensures that Fabric, an iconic London club, will stay open and continue to entertain. "Through the sale of the business, the jobs of over 100 people will be saved.
