Home improvements business Terry Healy Group ceases trading

Home improvements business Terry Healy Group ceases trading

Dalkeith-based all-trades building and home improvements business Terry Healy Group has ceased trading with all 51 staff made redundant.

Founded in 2014, Terry Healy Group provided a full range of building, electrical, heating, roofing, renewable and plumbing services to trade and domestic clients. The company also supplied windows and doors and operated a 24-hour emergency repairs and maintenance service.

Callum Carmichael and Chad Griffin, partners with FRP Advisory, have been appointed joint provisional liquidators of the company.

The provisional liquidation has been caused by unsustainable cash flow problems stemming from liabilities built up during the Covid-19 pandemic, soaring labour and raw material costs, shrinking margins, delays to contracts and slow payments. In spite of extensive efforts to effect a turnaround, the trading position had become untenable, and provisional liquidation was the only option.

The business has ceased trading with immediate effect and all 51 staff have been made redundant. The joint provisional liquidators will provide every assistance to those affected, including helping with redundancy payment claims and accessing third party support services.

Callum Carmichael, partner with FRP, said: “Terry Healy Group had grown rapidly into one of the high profile and respected multi-trades home improvement businesses in the East of Scotland. Unfortunately, the business has been unable to overcome very serious financial problems and closure was the only option. We will now focus on asset realisations including the sale of the heating maintenance contracts database and would ask interested parties to contact the Edinburgh office of FRP Advisory as soon as possible on: 0330 055 5455.”
