The majority of the 100-plus workforce at a Derby bike distributor have lost their jobs after the business went under.
The jobs have gone after Moore Large, which is based in a 215,000 sq ft building on the Sinfin Industrial Estate, ceased trading. The business has said it will not be able to fulfil any outstanding orders or provide refunds to customers. Anyone owed money has been invited to submit claims to FRP Advisory which is dealing with the administration.
Moore Large has been supplying bikes and accessories to independent bike shops since the 1940s. It was the subject of a multi-million pound management buyout only last year, and supplied brands such as O’Neal, Lake, Tern, WeThePeople, Alpina, Kenda and Jagwire, alongside its house brands Forme bikes and Everything to Cycling.
