Removal and storage specialist Whittle Movers Limited is up for sale after being placed into administration recently.
The Lancashire-based firm - part of Whittle Movers Group, which is not in administration - offers its services to office and commercial businesses.
As a result of the administration, Whittle Movers Limited has ceased to trade and 27 of its 33 staff have lost their jobs.
Joint administrator Paul Flint said, “The company had recently experienced a significant reduction in orders from a key contract, which exacerbated difficulties it had been facing with its cash flow.
“We are now actively seeking buyers for the business and its assets… and would encourage any interested parties to contact us as soon as possible," he added.
The assets included in the sale are a fleet of bespoke removals trailers and wagons, and Whittle Movers’ property in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire.
Accounts for the year to 31 January 2010 reveal a turnover figure of £8.27 million, down from £8.63 million on the previous year.
Whittle Movers Group was founded in 1880 and provides services to home movers as well as taking military personnel to their postings across the UK and parts of Europe including Germany, Belgium and Holland.
