THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY which was responsible for the £6.5 million project in the Stroud Medical Centre is in administration. 

This is according to Companies House, a government website. 

Yesterday, it was confirmed that a team of administrators had been appointed for PDR Construction Limited. 

Philip Deyes, Sean Williams and Andrew Poxon, of Leonard Curtis Business Rescue & Recovery, were appointed joint administrators on January 11. 

Joint Administrator Phil Deyes said: "The company has experienced challenging market conditions including the timely delivery of a number of recent projects, resource issues within the sector principally as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and contractual disputes with private clients including a recent significant lost adjudication.

"New work opportunities have been delayed as a result of the uncertainty in the economic and political environment causing a significant fall in turnover.

"The company had fallen behind with payments to its creditors and sub-contractor supply chain, culminating in a winding up petition being served on the company on January 4’’

PDR has also changed its address from Hessle in East Yorkshire to Leeds.  

Despite PDR's administration, work didn’t stop on site.

Stroud Regeneration Company moved quickly to keep the project moving.
