What the FCA says

ATTENTION - Firm in an insolvency process

This firm is in an insolvency process. It is under the control of the appointed insolvency office holder(s) and may have stopped taking on new business.

If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).

Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
