Quantuma appointed to Lane End Developments administration

Quantuma has been appointed to advise on the administration of Lane End Developments Construction.

Quantuma managing directors Jeremy Woodside and Frank Ofonagoro, both of the firm’s Manchester office, were appointed as joint administrators of the Warrington-based company on 4 April 2023.

Lane End Developments is a contracting developer for the housing sector across the North West and Wales, working exclusively with social housing providers.

The company was incorporated in 2016 and has built more than 1,000 homes since then, as well as pioneering social value schemes.

The business currently has live projects on 17 different sites, employing 118 members of staff in total. It turned over in around £81m in its last financial year.

Woodside said: “This is obviously a very difficult and uncertain time for the company, its employees and suppliers, and its wider stakeholders. We’re currently working alongside potential funders and senior management to assess the options available to them to restructure Lane End Developments Construction and allow it to continue to operate and deliver the housing projects across our region.”
