Tragic demise of a well respected and long established small company. Sadly missed. I remember on one job at a heritage building where they installed a sprinkler system,  they took huge care in drilling walls and removing a core plug of stone which was carefully laid to one side so that the job could be reversed in future if ever it proved necessary.

Am shocked. Had the pleasure of dealing with this company on three occassions. One at an office block, then a factory complex and then a tower block. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Painstaking care always taken on delicate jobs. Seem to remember someone called Steve, think he was project manager. Great bloke, had an excellent cheery team with him. Very sorry to hear of their fate. Hope their employees are able to find work elsewhere.
