New and used vehicle group enters administration
We are sorry to be reading reports that the South West-based new and used vehicle group built up of Completely Motoring Ltd, John Wilkins (Motor Engineers) Ltd and Thunder Road Motorcycles ltd, has collapsed into administration. The company employs 165 staff across its 14 showrooms in 11 locations.
Jonathan Amor, a restructuring partner and insolvency practitioner at advisory firm Azets, has been appointed joint administrator, along with Matthew Richards (Azets) and Alessandro Sidoli (Xeinadin Corporate Recovery).
Unfortunately, it is common for administrators to make these kinds of 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.
