Thomson Cooper appointed as Fife manufacturer goes into liquidation

Dunfermline-based accountancy firm Thomson Cooper has been appointed after Glenrothes-based kitchen manufacturer Murray and Murray Limited was placed into liquidation with the loss of almost 40 jobs.

The employees at Murray and Murray, which designed and manufactured bespoke kitchens and interiors, were made redundant with immediate effect after directors took the decision to wind up the company amid huge debts.

Richard Gardiner, a Partner at Thomson Cooper Accountants, was appointed liquidator on 8th January 2018.

The local Courier newspaper has reported that while creditors have been invited to a meeting in Dunfermline next week to discuss the situation, it is not yet clear how much is owed and to whom.

A statement issued by Thomson Cooper read: “Various options were explored by the directors to allow the company to continue to trade. Unfortunately, none were viable and the Directors were left with no other option but to place the company into liquidation and 38 staff were made redundant. Known creditors have been made aware of the liquidation, however, if anyone else wishes to discuss the position then please contact Thomson Cooper on 01383 628800.”
