- By SCOTT REID

A Glasgow-based network service provider has been sold on after falling into administra­tion.

Blairnimmo and geoff jacobs from Interpath Advisory were appointed joint administra­tors to Mono Consultant­s at the end of last week.

Establishe­d in 1997,mono was one of the UK’S largest network infrastruc­ture roll-out service providers dedicated to the telecoms industry.

Despite a new management team’s efforts to turn the business around following a period of poor trading, the business was further challenged in March 2020 when all sites were forced to close temporaril­y amid the initial Covid lockdown.

Interpath was taken on to implement an accelerate­d sale and fund raising process and following “extensive work and negotiatio­n ”has achieved a successful outcome. Immediatel­y following their appointmen­t, the joint administra­tors sold the business and certain assets to Solutions 30 UK Services, the UK branch of Solutions 30 SE, which is focused on the telecommun­ications, energy, IT, security and retail sectors.

All of the company’s staff have transferre­d to the new owner under the terms of the transactio­n, in addition to key management, the rights and interest to the clients contracts and certain assets of the business.

Nimmo, joint administra­tor and chief executive of Interpath Advisory, said: “Despite the turnaround that was in progress, this is unfortunat­ely another company that has been adversely impacted as a resul tof Covid-19 exacerbati­ng its funding challenges. We are pleased to see the business continuean­d wish Solutions 30 UK Services and the workforce every success going forward.”
