All 18 staff have been made redundant at M&E specialist FT Gordon ahead of the firm’s liquidation next week.

The Oldham-based firm – which worked for main contractors including Laing O’Rourke, Wates and Lovell – was closed down on 11 July by insolvency practitioner Bridgestones.

Bridgestones will liquidate the firm on 9 August.

FT Gordon is the third M&E contractor to close in a month, after Leeds-based Airedale and Hampshire-based Specialist Engineering Contracts.

FT Gordon was established in 1960 and worked on a number of major projects in the north, including Manchester’s No 1 Spinningfields Square and BT’s new telesales centre in Doncaster.

Bridgestones told ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø the company was put into liquidation because it was no longer able to trade and pay its creditors due to its financial position.

A meeting for creditors is scheduled for 9 August.
