Administrators called in at engineering company

Insolvency firm SFP has been appointed administrator of JGP Engineering Ltd after the firm encountered financial difficulties, leading to debts of almost £800,000.

JGP was an architectural and structural steel fabrication company which specialised in metalwork and the manufacturing and installation of items such as balconies, staircases, gates and fencing.

It employed 18 people and had an annual turnover of approximately £1.5m.

Simon Plant, group partner at SFP, said yesterday: “Despite working with a number of significant customers JGP had substantial cashflow issues which it was unable overcome.

“The company has subsequently ceased trading.”
