Coventry experts help City club call last orders

NEWS RELEASE Release Date: 7 September 2010 Coventry experts help City club call last orders A LONG established Coventry club has turned to a firm of city centre experts to help ease the pain of calling time on the business. Foleshill Liberal Club, in Lockhurst Lane, went into solvent liquidation and city centre firm Cranfield Business Recovery is now playing a key role in assisting the members to wind up the affairs of the Club and trying to sell the premises on its behalf. Cranfield Business Recovery is a leading insolvency practice and has vast experience in dealing with clubs of this type as well as other organisations such as charities and not for profit companies. The club has been running in Coventry since the 1800s and closed after membership dwindled. Its closure also reflects the increasing national trend in recent years of pub and social club closures. Gloria Gautam, one of the voluntary directors of the club, said: "It's a shame because I don't think there are many clubs left but we couldn't have gone on much longer. Cranfield Business Recovery has been a great help." Brett Barton, Licensed Insolvency Practitioner and director of Cranfield Business Recovery, said: "One of our areas of expertise is dealing with charitable organisations like social clubs, working men’s clubs and sports clubs. "While this is clearly the sad demise of a long established club in Coventry, we are concentrating our efforts on delivering the most satisfactory outcome for all parties concerned. We are working closely with local business professionals and have instructed David Penn at Shortland Horne to assist with the marketing and sale of the properties and are looking forward to hearing offers from prospective buyers." - ENDS - Photo Caption Photo shows (left to right) Brett Barton, Cranfield Business Recovery, Stella Richie & Gloria Gautam – Foleshill Liberal Club, Emma Ballard, Cranfield Business Recovery and David Bullard, Shortland Horne.
