Mainland Construction Group calls in administrators and tries to sell plant arm while closing construction and civil engineering divisions

A Northamptonshire construction firm has gone into administration, leaving over 150 jobs at risk.

Bridge Business Recovery, who has been appointed as administrator for Mainland Construction Group, said it would attempt to sell the company’s plant arm, Mainland Plant Hire, but the construction and civil engineering divisions are set to close.

Mainland confirmed it was in administration but refused to comment further.
