J K Domestics North West Ltd – administration

J K Domestics North West Ltd, an appliance repair service based in Liverpool which entered administration on 13 September, has been acquired by Pacifica, the largest independent appliance repair company in the UK, in a pre-packaged deal secured by joint administrators Jason Greenhalgh and Dean Watson of Begbies Traynor, saving 17 jobs. The business, which saw its turnover reach £978,000 last year, suffered due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and being unable to enter people’s homes to repair appliances. Despite restrictions being lifted, the company was subsequently hit by a steep reduction in new orders resulting from the impact of inflation.
