Monday May 20, 2024 Aluminium cladding specialist collapses

Melton Mowbray-based firm worked for several main contractors

Aluminium cladding, doors and windows specialist RKN Aluminium has fallen into administration.

RKN Aluminium was established in 2006, and since provided specialist curtain wall, window and door designing, manufacturing and fitting to hundreds of projects around the country.

The Melton Mowbray-based firm had recently moved into purpose-built premises and employed around 30 staff delivering service for a host of contractors like VolkerFitzpatrick, Glencar and Ashe

RKN also worked closely with Bowmer & Kirkland on the Government’s DfE ESFA Framework supporting the Modern Methods of Construction deal, which provided a stream of school projects.

The family-owned firm’s problems are understood to have come to a head when a crane hire specialist filed a winding-up petition against the business.

Administrators from London insolvency practice Moorfields are now handling the business.
