The company stopped trading on 17 April 2010 since it owed more than £1m, with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) being the biggest creditor. Administrators have sent letters to employees to advise them of the administration, their rights and the course of action they need to take in order to make a claim in respect of their redundancy.
