The Glasgow company, which had a long history of museum and heritage fit-outs, calls in liquidators after 50 years in business.
Glasgow-based fit-out company Elmwood Projects has called in liquidators, becoming the second in the span of a few months to close its doors.
The company offered commercial and office fit out and bespoke joinery alongside museums and heritage fit out.
Among its most recently completed projects was the temporary exhibition ‘Great Escapes: Remarkable Second World War Captives’ at The National Archives.
Its clients included the likes of V&A Dundee, Imperial War Museums, the Design Museum, the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, Linlithgow Museum, and the Scottish Jewish Heritage Centre.
A statement on the company’s website said the company entered liquidation late last month.
Brian Milne and Ian Wright of advisory firm Quantuma Advisory Limited have been appointed as Joint Interim Liquidators.
Quantuma told Advisor that a statement with further details of the liquidation is being prepared.
Founded in 1972, the specialist fit-out contractor operated predominantly in the museum, heritage and commercial sector. Beginning as a bespoke joinery manufacturing, t expanded to meet briefs for permanent and temporary museum exhibition and gallery fit-out, visitor experiences, heritage projects, commercial fit-out and specialist joinery packages.
The closure is the second company of its kind serving the sector in only a few months. Fit out company Beck, which counted the Natural History Museum and Science Museum among its clients, called in Administrators last month.
