A global steel giant headquartered in South Yorkshire has hit out at the HMRC filing of a winding up petition.
Liberty Steel has been under huge pressure since the collapse of major backer Greensill Capital.
A total of 3,000 jobs are understood to be at risk, with a headquarters and manufacturing plants in Rotherham, as well as Liberty Merchant Bar Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. Operations in the North East, Scotland, West Bromwich and South Wales complete the UK portfolio, with sites in the US and Australia too.
