Directors take over Kent Litho

Kent Lithos assets and goodwill have been bought by a new company led by the same management team.

Joint administrative receivers Bernard Hoffman and Ian Douglas Yerrill of Gerald Edelman were appointed by Bibby Factors on 29 May.

The assets of the 13-year-old firm were bought 12 days later by a new company led by directors Gary and Darren Rogers, which will trade as the KL Group from the same premises at Gillingham Business Park.

A 5 June statement said Kent Litho was undertaking a "restructuring programme... which also includes a new corporate identity. The original company has been officially put into liquidation, allowing the KL Group to go forward under a brand new image". But at this stage Kent Litho was already in administrative receivership.
