It’s like that time a few years ago when it was “another week, another building company collapsed”
I’ll feel empty if I don’t hear another one hitting the wall next week
you can thank the government for all this. They have wrecked the industry when you have a close look at the things they have done to the industry. More rules and regulations so they can collect more money from companies and oner operators They’ve stuffed this industry as well with the clowns they let in from overseas who know jack shit about the industry and conditions in this once proud mighty country. The government should be made accountable for the mess they’ve caused
please note that not all companies are closing under administration some are retirements
