Creditors chase DGT Steel and Cladding, despite administration

Deane and Amos Aluminium Systems is pursuing DGT Steel and Cladding, now in administration, through the High Court in a bid to recover almost £300,000.

In a writ filed at the Technology and Construction Court, Deane and Amos claims it is owed £299, 457.76 for a series of oral contracts agreed between 2005 and 2008.

It wants to recover the money and £77,237.64 in interest.

DGT Steel and Cladding appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as administrators last month after suffering cash flow problems.

A PricewaterhouseCoopers spokeswoman said administrators would try to pay creditors if any money remained, but that Deane and Amos would rank equally alongside other creditors seeking payment.
