A Covid-19 testing firm that earned millions from the pandemic owed more than £3.5m when it collapsed into administration.
Circular 1 Health had once employed 300 people at its height, turning over more than £35m and achieving a pre-tax profit of £6.4m. However, the company entered administration in March when Gary Lee and Kenneth Pattullo of Begbies Traynor were appointed to oversee the process.
Since its height, Circular 1 Health, which was registered in Warwick Bridge, Carlisle, had shrunk down to employ just over 40 people across its operations in Cumbria and Manchester.
