A statement said: “SH Structures suffered from losses on various contracts and a gap in production scheduling due to projects being delayed.

“Despite the multi-award winning company's strong reputation, it has not proved possible to find a purchaser for the business. SH Structures will cease trading with the loss of all jobs.”

It added that Begbies Traynor is managing an “orderly wind down” of the business and is seeking the best return for creditors. Those interested in the company’s assets should email [email protected].
