Jans Composites, Jans Offsite Solutions and Etrux - Administration

Jans Composites, Jans Offsite Solutions and Etrux, companies within the Antrim, Nothern Ireland-based Jans Group, entered administration on 19 May, with Ian Davison and Scott Murray of Keenan Corporate Finance appointed joint administrators.

The Jans Group employs about 200 people and manufactures campervans, electric commercial vehicles and modular builds, among other things. Director Peter Drayne originally established the group around six years ago after buying the Wright Group’s mouldings and metal fabrication division out of administration. The group has since gone on to complete several other acquisitions, including most recently two substantial development sites in Scotland.

Other companies in the Jans Group do not yet appear to be affected by the administration.

Ortus Secured Finance has registered charges against all three companies, while Peter Drayne has a registered charge against just Jans Composites.
