Complete Business Solutions Group Limited – administration

Complete Business Solutions Group Limited, one of the UK’s largest providers of business supplies and associated services, entered administration on 9 January. Joint administrators Timothy Vance, Jonathan Sumpton and Sam Woodward of EY said that the company, which is headquartered in Wakefield and operates through 18 regional distribution hubs across the UK, was impacted by the long-term impact of the pandemic lockdowns and subsequent change in working habits. Immediately following their appointment, the Joint Administrators completed a sale of the company’s business and assets to a subsidiary of EVO Business Supplies, the UK and Ireland’s largest specialist multi-channel business supplies and service distributor, saving all 632 jobs. Various HSBC Bank entities have registered charges against the company.
