Description
Administrators Tenon Recovery took over Fruitful Fundraising (GB), Fruitful Fundraising (HR) and Fruitful Fundraising (Workplace) on 14 July 2004. Cameron Gunn, from the Administrators said that it was unfortunate that they had to make the very difficult decision to make all 800 staff redundant on the day of their appointment. This was because 'there were insufficient funds to pay the arrears [of their wages].'
