Bob Green Buildings - any thoughts!?
Morning Ladies and Gents, https://www.bobgreenbuildings.co.uk/ We are looking at a new livestock shed and have been given a few names of some of the bigger players, this chap looks to be a little smaller in size though. Yet to make contact but would welcome any feedback before i waste...

Looks like he parted company with a fellow director (son?) who resigned from BGB Construction Ltd and started BGB Steel Structures Ltd the same day. I'm always a bit cautious with dealing with folks who do that sort of thing...
Bob did a big shed for us, of all the sheds we've had put up this was the best in terms of quality, we had a lean to done after by Fowler and Gilbert that was crap in comparison, only fault was he was a bit slow but being the other side of the country didn't help, he certainly knows what he's doing, he had a good chap with him who I think might have left, I think all these companies live on a knife edge and even more now

BGB Construction
Hello, Anyone out there, like me, a victim of BGB Construction liquidation? Would be good to speak with anyone else in similar situation about the upcoming Creditors’ Meeting.

For clarity, I can find nothing online other than that one thread to indicate BGB have gone into liquidation and the Companies House website shows them as still trading.

It’s a fair point, but I think you will find he and many in his shoes did not exactly fold the company, pocket the millions and retire to Barbados.
More like disparity between quote acceptance and rocketing prices left them high and dry.
Hi, we have had insolvency notification very late - liquidation meeting set for next Thursday. Just wanted to warn anyone else who is naively waiting for their job.BGB Construction

You would be surprised , one or two not far from us have had more than 1 ltd company in barn construction etc and someone else’s name pops up on another one straight away when they have gone wrong , should not happen imo.

Probably got hit by the price rises, was always quite a slow payer and that got worse as the year went on. Signing a contract in Feb for a fixed cost shed in June when prices were rising has been difficult on many, wasn't it Robinsons who went bust last week too, to just start again then next week.

Just looked Robinsons up…..sale whilst in administration so still a going concern.
68 jobs saved as steel construction company Robinson Structures
Third-generation family-run company had been through a challenging period

It has been sold to an unrelated long established business as a going concern. The Bob Green business however is showing all the classic signs of going bust and restarting with the same premises. same staff and being owned by a different member of the ame family.Just looked Robinsons up…..sale whilst in administration so still a going concern.

No-where does it say who bought Robinsons, A pre-packed sale usually means a done deal behind closed doors before people know much about it.

Shame about Robinsons they had a fantastic set up but perhaps a system that was not flexible enough to operate when times get hard and the overheads would be massive ,I have a great deal of respect for Steve Robinson he is a gentleman and was very good to me when I started in the mid 80s and sent a huge amount of work my way in the early days

To be honest I wouldn't part with any money for a farm building until it was sat in my yard there's not that much margin in the job and some kit building suppliers will be paying invoices 60 odd days old with buildings they have delivered this week and deposits they have taken consequences of this are if work dries up they can't pay the bills and some end up getting caught out
