The £1m pre‐pack administration sale was completed with the help of a team of advisers including Sheffield‐based 7 Legal & Finance Ltd which advised Ledantech. Tom Paton, restructuring & insolvency partner at Irwin Mitchell in Sheffield, along with Hal Roberts, advised Begbies Traynor, with Kirsty Ayre, employment partner, and Guy Whitehead in real estate also supporting the deal. Part of the Newburgh Group, Newburgh Precision was founded in 1939 and manufactures precision machined and fabricated engineering components and assemblies for all industrial sectors.
