North West steelwork specialist Henry Smith (Constructional Engineers) is battling for survival after a payment dispute tipped the firm into a financial crisis.
The Winsford-based steelwork specialist is understood to have told 33 of its 60 strong workforce to stay at home as it tries to sort out a new financing deal.
A source told the Enquirer: “Most of the workforce has been sent home for two weeks while the owners sort out the firm’s problems.”
Managing director Gerard Kitching is understood to be trying to refinance the firm after its cashflow problems were aggravated by a payment dispute with Bam Construction on its Salford University Gateway project.
Henry Smith was established back in 1938 in Salford, Manchester and is now located on a purpose-built six acre site in Cheshire.
Henry Smith Factory
It extended the factory in 2008 to incorporate shot-blasting and painting as part of its end-to-end solution within a 50,000 sq ft building.
The director’s phones are all directed to answerphones and Henry Smith’s accounts are overdue and website is presently down.
