Nitin Joshi, director of Channelmoney, said the year had started in the same way as 2007 had ended. “We have already advised three channel players into liquidation, including Letrex Ltd and Webmaster Internet’ional and are in the process of advising a number of other company directors.”
Bromley-based reseller Maxi Million has also ceased trading. The VAR was an HP business partner and sold PCs, printers and components in the education and corporate sectors.
Rod Butcher, partner at corporate recovery specialist Butcher Woods, said the firm had entered voluntary liquidation. “A creditors’ meeting has now been scheduled for Monday 28 January in Hertfordshire,” he added.
Mark Ancell, head of intelligence at credit agency Graydon, said: “On Friday 11 January, the directors took action and placed the company into voluntary liquidation. The reason cited was poor trading.”
Joshi added: “Maxi Million is one of about four channel players going down every week. Company directors should seek advice quickly rather than carrying on when they know their business is insolvent.”
