Business Sale by Bennett Verby Approved By Pre-Pack Pool

A Lancashire-based company specialising in waste management, demolition contracts, plant hire and haulage has been successfully sold on as part of a “pre-pack” deal by Bennett Verby following an Administration in July.

After the North-West based company fell into financial difficulties, Administrator, Vincent Simmons of Bennett Verby Corporate Recovery & Insolvency Services Limited was brought in to handle the company’s affairs.

Vincent is the Corporate Recovery & Insolvency Director at Bennett Verby CR&IS Limited. With a background in accounting and corporate recovery, Vincent founded Bennett Verby’s Corporate Recovery & Insolvency practice in February 2001.

He successfully sold part of the business in a “pre-packaged” sale, following the sale being approved following a submission of the terms of the proposed deal by the Purchaser to the “Pre-Pack” Pool (being a panel of experienced business specialists). As a result, three trading divisions of the business will be saved and a number of the company’s employees will likely retain their jobs.

Mr. Simmons is one of a handful of insolvency practitioners in the North West to have completed such a sale since the Pool was introduced in November 2015. The Pool was set up following a report by the Government into “Pre-Pack” sales in Administration scenarios.

Now, with over 30 years’ experience, Vincent has established a reputation for dealing with difficult situations with an emphasis on resolution, efficiency and empathy.
