Quoted by Insider Media, Danielle Shore, joint administrator at Leonard Curtis, said: "Unfortunately, a sale could not be secured for Coops EMBS and the company subsequently entered administration.
"Our immediate priority is to support employees through the redundancy process, safeguard the company's assets and fulfil our statutory duties to creditors."
A message on the company's website read: "Initially focusing on commercial and industrial electrical contracting, they expanded in 2020 to include mechanical and building services to meet client demand. In 2018, Martin Clawson joined as a director, bringing extensive experience in mechanical and electrical installations.
