120 jobs at risk as New Engineering Ltd appoints administrators
We are sorry to read reports that the Midlands-based engineering firm, New Engineering Ltd, has appointed administrators. Mike Denny and Mark Firmin from Alvarez & Marsal Europe were named joint administrators on Thursday 1 August 2024. The company operates sites in Worcester, Derby, and Kidderminster, employing around 120 people.
Unfortunately, it is common for administrators to make immediate redundancies, without prior warning or any consultation process. A failure to follow a consultation process could lead to employees being able to claim compensation from an Employment Tribunal of up to 90 days’ pay. Such a claim could be pursued if:
- 20 or more people were made redundant at the same workplace; and
- There was no information and consultation process, or it wasn’t carried out correctly prior to making redundancies.
If you have been made redundant and need advice, contact our employment team confidentially now for more information.

There are strict Tribunal deadlines within which to pursue these claims, so you mustn’t delay if you believe you may be affected.
