70 jobs lost as SH Structures Ltd enters administration

We are now reading reports that the the Sherburn in Elmet-based steel fabrication business, SH Structures Ltd, has now entered administration with a loss of about 70 jobs. Andrew Mackenzie and Louise Longley of Begbies Traynor were appointed as joint administrators of SH Structures Ltd on 4 April 2024.

Unfortunately, it is common for administrators to make immediate redundancies, without prior warning or any consultation process. A failure to follow a consultation process could lead to employees being able to claim compensation from an Employment Tribunal of up to 90 days’ pay. Such a claim could be pursued if:

  • 20 or more people were made redundant at the same workplace; and
  • There was no information and consultation process, or it wasn’t carried out correctly prior to making redundancies.

If you have been made redundant and need advice, contact our employment team confidentially now for more information.

There are strict Tribunal deadlines within which to pursue these claims, so you mustn’t delay if you believe you may be affected.
