Summary
Smoke & Fire Curtains, a Leicestershire-based fire safety firm raking in £3 million annually, collapsed into administration this May after a disastrous £300K investment in a failed fire-retardant spray, mounting debt, staff cuts, and a rushed move to new premises. With creditors closing in, directors sought help — ultimately opting for a pre-pack sale, where assets were snapped up by Insight Fire Solutions for £40K+VAT. Five employees were let go early; the rest lost their jobs as cash ran dry. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
