Sumfield and Day Limited, the Eastbourne based firm of printers, went into administration on 23 March 2009, with the appointment of Chris Stevens, Client Partner at Vantis Business Recovery Services (BRS), a division of Vantis, the UK accounting, tax and business advisory group, as administrator.
Commenting on the case, Chris Stevens said: “It is extremely sad when a long-run family firm is forced into insolvency. Sumfield and Day Limited was a highly respected printer, but unfortunately the company was forced into administration as a result of a decline in sales and difficult trading conditions in the current economic climate.”
He adds: “It is not possible to trade the business and we have had to cease operations since Monday, making all staff redundant. We are supporting all staff with their claims.”
