Jarvis Contracting Ltd – administration

Jarvis Contracting Ltd, a Hertfordshire-based contractor originally founded in 1905, entered administration on 28 February. Joint Administrators Peter Wastell and William Turner of Verulam Advisory said that the company has suffered adverse market conditions in the past two years, including supply-chain problems and unexpected inflation, which have made the delivery of long-term fixed price contracts unviable. 70 employees have been made redundant.
