Most of the workforce at Nottingham-based building contractor J Tomlinson are being made redundant after the £100 million-plus turnover business went into administration. The 70-year-old business, which employed more than 400 people, had failed to bring in fresh funding after being hit by the effects of “hyper-inflation”.
Joint administrators Raj Mittal and Nathan Jones of specialist business advisory firm FRP were appointed today (10 July 2023) and said they had stopped the business trading while they considered their options.
Over the decades J Tomlinson had built a strong reputation in construction, facilities management, refurbishment and property maintenance. It worked in areas such as social housing, emergency services, local government, education, health and social care, commercial and residential. From its headquarters in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, it also worked on several big local government contracts.
