Thu, 12 Mar 2015Food industry recruiter Anystaff Recruitment has called in the administrators after amassing a “significant” number of debts.
In a statement released yesterday [11 March], insolvency practitioners SFP announced they had been appointed administrators to Anystaff, which has subsequently ceased trading, despite an “intensive” search for a possible buyer.
The statement adds the loss of one of the firm’s clients “severely” affected turnover leading to mounting HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) arrears.
A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) was agreed but breached, while a payment plan with HMRC was rejected. The CVA supervisor petitioned for the winding up of the company, and subsequently SFP’s Simon Plant and Daniel Plant were appointed as joint administrators on 20 February 2015.
SFP adds that it along with valuation agents actively marketed the business for sale and spoke to three interested parties. Having contacted the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA), the administrators continued to run the business to maximise returns for creditors.
However, Anystaff ceased trading on 27 February after confirmation from its largest customer, which represented 80% of the firm’s turnover, that it had taken its business elsewhere.
