The office holders are Paul Dounis; Mark Harper, appointed 28 October 2026. The case is before the Court of Session (case No P1108 of 2026). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2025, showed total assets of £9.0m and net assets of £2.2m.

Administration is a formal insolvency process in which licensed insolvency practitioners (the administrators) take control of a company to try to rescue it as a going concern, or — where that is not possible — to achieve a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up and to realise the assets. A statutory moratorium halts most legal action against the company while the administrators act.

The notices do not give a figure. The closest public number is total liabilities of £6.8m in its last filed accounts, to 31 March 2025. What was owed when the process began will differ, and is set out in the statement of affairs.
Financial figures are taken from the company's own last accounts filed at Companies House. Small and micro-entity accounts are unaudited, and for a company entering an insolvency process the most recent filing frequently predates that process by a year or more.
