Jobs have been lost after HMRC issued a winding-up order for Nottinghamshire company Midland Skip Hire Limited, which was set up back in 2002
A skip hire firm which served the community for a quarter of a century has entered liquidation.
Midland Skip Hire Limited, which had traded from Bottesford near Bingham, Nottinghamshire, for 24 years, has been issued with a winding-up order, initiated by HMRC. The High Court approved the closure of the waste management and skip rental business, which was founded back in 2002.
Commissioners for HMRC had filed the petition to shut the company and sell its assets back in November. The firm is currently under the control of a receiver and the Government’s Insolvency Service is assisting former employees to claim redundancy payments.
Midland Skip Hire’s financial accounts filed last summer for the year up to June 30, 2024, explained the company had £3,079,867 in fixed assets, but had needed to pay significant amounts to creditors in coming years.
