A DEESIDE plumbing supplies company has gone into administration.

The decision for the company Collister & Glover (Pipeline Materials) Ltd to enter administration was made due to difficult conditions for the industry, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Seven members of the 13-strong workforce at the plumbing and supplies merchant based on Deeside Industrial Park have been made redundant.

Patrick Lannagan and Conrad Pearson of Mazars LLP have been appointed joint administrators as of Tuesday, August 11.

The company has experienced cash-flow difficulties as a result of difficult trading conditions in the sector. As a result, the director took the decision that the company should enter administration.

Conrad Pearson, joint administrator, said: "Trading continues at present in a limited form and we are seeking buyers for the business and assets, and welcome any interest that may be forthcoming in those.

"The Administrators will be writing to all creditors over the next few days with further details of the next steps in the process."
