A FIRE protection specialist based in Bolton has secured a vital loan to keep going through lockdown. GMJ Fire Prevention Ltd, based in Sweetloves Lane off Blackburn Road, has secured £4,295 from a specialist social impact lender, GC Business Finance, through the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) funded by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. The company services and rents fire extinguishers for businesses across the North West and beyond. They also offer fire safety training to businesses specialising in how to conduct a safe evacuation in the event of a fire. The company was hit hard by coronavirus as it would usually secure customers through face to face meetings in office environments with its future very much threatened.

A petition to formally dissolve collapsed contractor Forrest as a company has been lodged with the High Court.
The firm, which collapsed into administration in December 2018 with the loss of 230 jobs, has been formally struck off after the winding-up process – undertaken by Forrest creditor Wolffkran – was concluded.
A notice of the company’s dissolution was published in
The Gazette, the official public record.
Forrest was formed in 1955 when a carpenter named Herbert T Forrest founded a company to supply social housing in Preston, Lancashire. As highlighted in a 2019
Construction News special report, the contractor suffered a number of catastrophic losses on its contracts in 2017 and 2018, which saw it fall into insolvency.
