UK sawmill machinery manufacturer Stenner has gone into administration.

Ian Walker and Gilbert Lemon of Begbies Traynor were appointed as joint administrators of the Tiverton-based company on March 16.

Stenner is one of the oldest companies in the wood machinery sector, having been established in 1875.

The administrators are continuing to trade the company while attempting to achieve a going concern sale of the business.

Stenner designs and builds a wide range of machinery, primarily based around the wide bandsaw, including standalone resaws and complete turnkey sawmills.
