Leaderflush owner in administration

Administrators at Deloitte were appointed to Laidlaw Interiors Group (LIG) after several years of difficult trading.

A buyer – investment company Valtegra – has already been secured for Longden Doors, along with three other LIG businesses, Komfort, Fitzpatrick and Cubicle Systems.

Deloitte said it was hopeful of securing sales of other parts of the LIG business. Custom-door specialist Longden is based in Sheffield, while Nottingham-based Leaderflush Shapland focuses on doorsets for the healthcare, education, leisure and commercial markets.

Despite group cost-cutting measures and re-organisation in recent years, the group has continued to experience tough trading conditions.
