10 January 2013 By Northern Lights

Gareth Rusling a Partner of the Sheffield office of The P&A Partnership said: “The business began by delivering aggregates but following a contraction in this market, it diversified into delivering other goods. The recession, combined with vehicle breakdowns and rises in the price of fuel, meant the business was no longer viable. “
A company voluntary arrangement (CVA) is an arrangement between a company and its creditors, who agree to write off some of the outstanding debt, allowing the company to continue to trade.
