A Catlow Civil Engineering Ltd files notice of intention to appoint administrators

We have recently read reports that the Sheffield-based civil engineering business, A Catlow Civil Engineering Ltd, has filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators. The company employed an average of 52 workers during the year ended 31 March 2023.

Unfortunately, in many cases where administrators are appointed a number of immediate redundancies are made. Often this happens without prior warning or any consultation process. Should administrators be appointed, we fear this may lead to redundancies.

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.

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