Forshaw Demolition Enters Administration After 23 Years

Forshaw Demolition, a family-owned company specializing in asbestos removal and industrial decommissioning, entered administration on July 24, 2026. The firm had operated for 23 years, managing the dismantling of concrete and steel structures, including bridges and high-rise projects across the United Kingdom.

Richard Cole, Stephen Kenny, and Amy Lowden of KBL Advisory Limited were appointed as joint administrators. The team is tasked with managing the company's daily operations, debts, and liabilities as part of a financial restructuring process.

This insolvency follows a wider pattern of business failures in the UK throughout 2026. Similar collapses have affected various industries, including aviation, hospitality, and high street retail.
