200-year-old family business up for sale as bosses strive to save firm
Troubled glazing, metal roofing and cladding and building conservation specialist Norman & Underwood is up for sale, TheBusinessDesk.com understands.
As we exclusively revealed on Monday, the future of the Leicester-based firm – one of the oldest family-owned companies in the East Midlands – is in doubt after it filed a notice of intention (NOI) to appoint administrators.
The NOI is designed to give company directors a short period of breathing space to attempt to find a way forward for the company.
A spokesperson told us: “The director is working with Begbies Traynor to try to secure a sale of the business and assets of Norman and Underwood Limited. Any expressions of interest should be addressed to Richard Temple at Eddisons richard.temple@eddisons.com.”
The firm has worked on some of the UK’s best-known buildings, including Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and Chatsworth House. It has also worked abroad on major projects including the British Embassy in Moscow and the Dome of the Rock in Jordan.
