Blackpool steelwork firm in administration

10 Jan 11 A single unpaid bill by a client has forced Blackpool steelwork contractor APC Engineers into administration, with all 50 employees at risk of being laid off.

Insolvency specialists from Begbies Traynor are now running the company and looking for a buyer.

APC director Jason Marsh told the Blackpool Gazette: "Despite substantial secured orders for the New Year, APC has been unable to recover from the non-payment of money owed by a major client. This is a very distressing time for all of the 50 employees and their families and we're doing everything we can to assist each and every member of the workforce.”

He added: "Structural steel companies are especially vulnerable at the moment with the depressed state of the construction industry and clients who continue not to pay."
