Wooldridge files administration notice

Surrey based Wooldridge Contractors has filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators after nearly 50 years in business.

The company specialises in groundworks, civils and contract build projects and had a turnover of £23.2m for the year to January 31 2022 generating a pre-tax profit of £1.7m.

Sources close to the firm said staff were given redundancy consultation late last month but have been “kept in the dark” since them.

Its sister demolition and muck away company Wooldridge Ecotec is also being wound-up.

Documents seen by the Enquirer reveal that creditors will be asked to approve the appointment of liquidators later this month to Wooldridge Ecotec which had a turnover of £14.2m for the year to January 31 2022 generating a pre-tax loss of £550,000.
