Details start to emerge from failed Yorkshire-based contractor.
News is starting to filter out of the rubble of the collapsed Controlled Group which was forced to call in the administrators on Friday of last week.
Although no official statement has yet been made, DemolitionNews.com can exclusively reveal that the company’s highly experienced business development director Alison Knowles has salvaged the company’s Oracle surveying and health and safety arm. “I did not want to see it die after so much work getting it accredited,” she says.
While her former colleagues at Controlled Group are forced to find alternative employment, Knowles – whose CV includes stints with other notable UK contractors Cuddy Group and EDS – is now seeking financial backing for Oracle.
“My situation now is that I need to either find a backer to help me grow Oracle or find a company that needs my skills and would be interested in taking Oracle on for its own ends,” Knowles concludes.
