Around 30 jobs have been lost following the collapse of a building facades specialist on Teesside.
Administrators were called in to Topside Group recently after the supplier to the construction industry suffered cashflow difficulties. The Billingham-based firm specialised in the design, fabrication and installation of cladding, curtain walling and balustrades among other products and operated out of a 26,000 sqft facility on Cowpen Lane Industrial Estates.
Topside had been trading more than 30 years and worked on a number of prominent buildings in the North East and further afield, including The Curve at Teesside University, the Student Services facility at Newcastle University and The Mint offices in Leeds. The firm's North East production facility also served as an outsourced centre for companies at full capacity in their own factories.
