The business of specialist management accountancy firm EK Williams has been sold via a pre-pack administration to a company owned by the former management. The sale was successfully negotiated after a period of marketing and discussion with interested parties. The company had provided bespoke services to petrol forecourt retailers since 1935. After acquiring another accountancy firm in 2010 the economic downturn caused difficulty in the company making the deferred payments, which led the directors to seek help from Begbies Traynor. The sale saved 27 jobs and provided continuity for its many blue chip customers.
2nd Thoughts Ltd, trading as Ellie Louise and Happit, was sold by our Leeds team after this long established chain fell victim to the retail sector downturn. Moving quickly they secured a buyer three days after appointment. HMRC had issued a winding up petition but liquidation would not be the best outcome, halting trade, losing goodwill and increasing preferential creditors through significant redundancies. Administration enhanced goodwill, ensured customer continuity and retaining most staff. This prompt ‘going concern’ sale allowed 49 stores in leasehold premises to go on trading, protecting over 240 jobs and minimising creditor claims.
