Will Wright, UK CEO at Interpath and joint administrator to Headlam Group plc, said: “Headlam is a well-established British company with a heritage stretching back more than 30 years, and the feedback we’ve received from customers and suppliers in recent days reinforces that there remains market demand for the business.”
