Service Point UK placed in "Administration"; Sale Imminent?

“Administration” in the UK is pretty much the same thing, if not exactly the same thing, as “Chapter 11 Bankruptcy” in the US.  The UK term “pre-pack sale” is pretty much the same as the term “prepackaged sale”.  So, Service Point UK has been put into Administration, and it sounds like that was done to set up the business to be sold easily and very quickly.

It sounds like it will be a pre-pack sale, but that's still to be confirmed.

Will be interesting if Paragon Group does buy it, seems to be a new area for them to get into. 

Best regards
