Interim examiner appointed to Wexford steel firm

An interim examiner has been appointed by the High Court to a Co Wexford-based steel-fabrication business, which employs 24 people.

The aim of court protection and examinership, for Lodgewood Engineering Ltd, of Ferns, Co Wexford, is to allow a scheme to be put in place with creditors, which, if accepted by the High Court, would allow the firm to survive as a going concern.

The company also operates a garden-machinery centre and sells tools and equipment online.
