A CABLING services firm has gone into administration with the loss of 50 jobs.
Xtreme Business Solutions, which has offices in Aberdeen and Dalgety Bay, Fife, was said to have “unsustainable cash flow issues”.
Iain Fraser and Tom MacLennan, partners with FRP Advisory LLP, have been appointed joint administrators of the firm, which fitted and maintained cabling and networked systems such as CCTV.
The business has ceased trading with immediate effect and 31 staff in Aberdeen and 19 in Dalgety bay have been made redundant.
Fraser said: “Xtreme Business Solutions was an established, respected operator in the specialist cabling sector.
“Unfortunately, the financial issues facing the company could not be resolved and administration was the only option.”
The business was founded in 2003 and had a turnover of around £2 million, administrators said.
Clients included Trump International Golf Links, Network Rail, University of St Andrews and William Grant & Sons.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
