Despite earning nearly £10 million in its final year, the company was crippled by VAT debt — partly from a client’s liquidation — and faced mounting monthly charges of over £30,000. Directors’ proposed six-month repayment plan was rejected, forcing them to seek administration. Though a new venture could boost revenue by £2 million, no agreement with HMRC was reached. Administrators are now helping clients find alternative suppliers to ensure highway safety. HMRC emphasized they support businesses with tax debts and only resort to winding-up as a last resort to protect public funds, noting Time to Pay options exist but come with strict conditions.
