Howard Russell Construction Limited - administration

Howard Russell Construction Limited, a Northumberland-based design and build contractor, entered administration on 2 May. In its latest accounts, the company warned that the industry was facing problems from material availability, cost increases and a noticeable lack of skilled labour. Despite this, the company did not report a loss in its latest accounts and was forecasting turnover of £70-80 million for the following year. Steven Ross and Allan Kellly of FRP Advisory were appointed joint administrators.
