THE company behind the colourful McCoo range of artwork and merchandise has gone into liquidation.
Ayr-based Steven Brown Art Limited employed 21 people and operated a gallery and warehouse in the town.
Established in 2016, the company produced prints and merchandise which were sold from the gallery, online and through gift shops and cafes.
Liquidators FRP Advisory said it had ceased trading and all staff have been made redundant with immediate effect.
Partner Tom MacLennan said: "Steven Brown Art Limited became very well known for its range of highly creative and engaging artwork based around the famous McCoo brand.
"Although the company grew rapidly, it had been suffering from serious cash flow problems and creditor pressure. As such the only option was to place the company in liquidation.
"We will now be selling all the remaining stock and would encourage interested parties to register their interest.
"We will also work closely with the Redundancy Payments Service and other agencies to minimise the impact on the staff affected by the closure of the business."
Interested parties are being asked to contact FRP Advisory on 0330 055 5455.
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!
