Derby wholesaler SOS Wholesale entered administration in September 2025.

Unsecured creditors are now owed an estimated £6.5 million, with a dividend described as highly unlikely.

Meanwhile, administrators have recorded £1.58 million in time costs so far, averaging £609 an hour during the latest reporting period. The administration has now been extended for another year, with further costs to come.

How can this level of cost be justified, and what benefit is the process delivering to creditors?

Torsion Projects Files Administration Notice Following Sister Company’s Collapse

Torsion Projects has reportedly filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators. This follows the collapse of Torsion Construction, whose trade creditors are owed £15.6 million and are highly unlikely to receive a dividend.

Three years ago, we were instructed to recover an unpaid invoice for just over £500.

We contacted the company, carried out our investigations and advised our client that, in our opinion, legal action would be throwing good money after bad.

Weeks later, the company entered liquidation.

But the story didn't end there.

A company with a very similar name continued trading from the same address and using the same telephone number.

Now, three years later, the director has been jailed after admitting a £300,000 Bounce Back Loan fraud.

At the time, we had no knowledge that a major fraud was taking place. What we did identify were the commercial warning signs.

It's another reminder that businesses rarely fail overnight. The warning signs are often there—you just need to know where to look.
