Hundreds of jobs at risk as company with site near Newark enters administration

Hundreds of jobs at a 40-acre manufacturing site near Newark could be at risk as the company that runs it enters administration.

Caledonian Modular in Carlton-on-Trent specialises in the off-site construction of buildings for large-scale projects across the UK.

The company's administration was registered with Companies House on Tuesday (March 8).

The Caledonian Modular website is currently down and an automated phone message states that the office is now closed.

The company has existed since 1964 and has been a market leader in constructing and then shipping modular building to be fixed together on construction sites. It has been a market leader in providing modular buildings to a number of industries including prisons and custody suites, hotels, schools and colleges, the military, residential and retail.

It has held several significant government contracts in the past.

It has been suggested that customers and suppliers and other creditors could be owed as much as £18m through the collapse of Caledonian.
