The Enquirer<\/em> reported last month that the owners of Norman & Underwood were working with Begbies Traynor to find a buyer.<\/p>\n

But Begbies Traynor has now been appointed administrator at the business after no suitable offers came forward.<\/p>\n

The administrator said: \u201cUnfortunately, it was not possible to find a purchaser for the Leicester-based glazing, metal roofing and cladding and building conservation specialist. The company has, therefore, ceased to trade and 49 staff have been made redundant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe property and remaining assets are being sold via Sanderson & Weatherall (property) and Eddisons (chattel assets).\u201d<\/p>\n

Norman & Underwood was one of the UK\u2019s most established roofing, structural glazing and building conservation contractors having been established in 1825.<\/p>\n

Its clients ranged from the largest construction companies to private individuals, in sectors including education, commercial, retail, leisure, healthcare, ecclesiastical and residential.<\/p>\n

Originally specialising in general plumbing and glazing, the company evolved to provide architectural and structural glazing, metal roofing and cladding, and building conservation services including leadwork and stained glass restoration.<\/p>\n

The firm has worked with major contractors including Kier Wates, Willmott Dixon and Balfour Beatty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
