Liquidators have now been formally appointed following the demise of the Nottingham Castle Trust which was responsible for the running of Nottingham Castle. Officials from the Trust announced last week they were in the process of appointing liquidators - the collapse almost 18 months after the Castle reopened following a much-heralded £33m revamp which took three years to complete.
Tim Bateson and Chris Pole, from Interpath Advisory, were formally appointed as joint liquidators to the Trust on Tuesday, November 29. The Trust, an independent and not-for-profit charitable trust, managed and operated Nottingham Castle on behalf of Nottingham City Council, the authority now back in control of the landmark site.
The majority of the staff of the Trust were made redundant in advance of the appointment of the liquidators, and all remaining staff were made redundant with effect from Wednesday (November 30). The liquidators have also confirmed no refunds will be issued to any customers who bought advance tickets and annual passes for the attraction - or for anyone who paid for booked events.
