St Helens Chamber Ltd closes with the loss of up to 70 jobs
We are sorry to read reports that the award-winning membership and training organisation, St Helens Chamber Ltd, has appointed administrators and closed with immediate effect with the loss of up to 70 jobs. Jason Bell and Philip Stephenson, from Grant Thornton, took control of the business on Thursday 14 March and will manage its affairs on behalf of creditors.
Unfortunately, in most cases when administrators are appointed, they make a number of immediate redundancies 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.
