DRIBUILD HAS CEASED TRADING
Administrators from Begbies Traynor took control of the £40m turnover business on Friday afternoon.
Five of the company’s 35-strong team are being retained by Begbies Traynor while the administration proceeds and nine live commercial construction projects are assessed.
The business founded by managing director Matt Tyler in 2008 worked on projects worth up to £10m, and achieved consistent growth year on year.
This saw it ranked in the Financial Times fastest-growing European companies in 2017 and last year listed as one of the London Stock Exchange’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain.
Plans to see the firm expand from its west country base saw Dribuild move to a new Bristol HQ last year and open new offices in Manchester and Cardiff.
Hope they paid Rovers their sponsorship fees!

That's a bit unfair of you. Even I only blame him for stuff that he's directly involved with. As Mike says, it leaves the question of whether they were decent enough to whoop their wad on the counter in one go, up front, for the stand sponsorship and any other commitments or if this is going to leave a hole in a budget somewhere. For the record, the fact that the company has gone into administration isn't Tom's fault, but failure to have a financial plan, in case this type of thing happens, would be his fault. But he's a professional, so he'll have a contingency in place. |

We could just take down the signs and pretend that Paddy Power are our new sponsors. Wouldn't help the finances, but I could rant on for a few days about the evils of gambling. |

We could change it to the NoBuild stand. Cheap and easy!

On a more serious note until a sponsor is found we could donate the space to a Parkinsons charity in memory of Stuart Taylor.
