Blue Line International UK Ltd. – administration

Blue Line International UK Ltd., a Cumbria-based fish processor, entered administration on 19 August following significant trading losses and unsustainable creditor pressure. The company was subject to a fixed price contract with its main customer and, despite a rebasing clause, was severely impacted by an unprecedented rise in fish prices this year. The company has ceased trading and all 34 employees have been made redundant. Daryl Warwick and Mike Kienlen of Armstrong Watson were appointed joint administrators, assisted by Napthen Solicitors and Sanderson Weatherall.
