Torsion Projects Goes Into Administration

Leeds-based construction firm Torsion Projects Limited has ceased trading and entered administration, resulting in the redundancy of all 54 employees.

Established in 2015, the company specialised in the construction of care homes across the UK and formed part of the wider Torsion Group.

The company had experienced sustained cashflow difficulties following the termination of several contracts, leaving it unable to cover its operating costs. Despite efforts by the directors to secure fresh investment, the business was unable to continue trading.

All construction sites were handed back to developers or funders before James Clark and Rick Harrison of Interpath were appointed as joint administrators.

James Clark said the company’s financial difficulties had become insurmountable and confirmed that support was being provided to affected employees.

The collapse follows the administration of fellow group company Torsion Construction Limited in July, which provided contracting services to Torsion Developments in the student accommodation sector.

However, Torsion Developments Limited and Torsion Care Limited are not in administration

Readers Guide To the Administration Process

Since Torsion Products has gone into administration here is a quick guide to the legal realities of the administration process.

The Process: Administration is a legal “moratorium” that protects insolvent companies from creditor action. Licensed Insolvency Practitioners take control to either rescue the business or sell its assets to achieve a better result than immediate closure.

Who gets paid? There is a strict legal queue. Secured lenders (banks) and “preferential” creditors (employees and HMRC) are paid first. Unsecured creditors, including trade suppliers and customers, are at the back of the line and often receive nothing.

Employees: Redundancies often occur in the first 14 days. After this window, the administrator “adopts” remaining contracts, making ongoing wages a priority. Unpaid redundancy or notice pay can usually be claimed through the government’s Redundancy Payments Service.

Suppliers & Customers: Suppliers should negotiate “pro-forma” (upfront) terms for any new orders. For customers, gift cards and deposits are rarely honored. However, if you paid over £100 via credit card, you may be able to claim a refund under Section 75.
