Longpre Furniture Limited - Administration

Longpre Furniture Limited, a Somerset-based custom furniture manufacturer, entered administration on 1 March, citing financial losses on contracts, combined with increased prices for raw materials and utility costs.

On their appointment as joint administrators, Neil Vinnicombe and Paul Wood of Begbies Traynor completed a sale to Longpre Ltd, saving 50 jobs.

Barclays Bank PLC and Paul Graham Longpre and Helen Moyers have registered charges against the company.
