A UK construction firm that has been in business for nearly 10 years has entered administration. It is one of many that have recently faced administration or liquidation due to financial hardships. Several companies in the sector have recently become insolvent, with some blaming things like increased operational costs and overall difficult trading conditions. According to a notice published in the London Gazette, Hawksmoor Construction Ltd entered administration on June 1, 2026.
Administrators are typically appointed to oversee a struggling business in an effort to save it from liquidation, and the process sometimes involves restructuring the business to improve its financial standing and ability to repay its creditors. According to Companies House, the company was incorporated in 2017. Based in King’s Langley in Hertfordshire, Hawsmoor Construction Ltd is a “multi-award-winning”, chartered building company, specialising in prime residential construction.
Lee Morris andJohn Thompson of Marshall Peters have been appointed as joint administrators. Administrators have been contacted by the Daily Express for comment.
Hawksmoor Construction Ltd prides itself on having an “exceptional team”. “Our team is composed of highly experienced professionals who bring a combination of expertise, dedication, and innovation to every project,” its website states.
“From the design phase to project completion, our team works tirelessly to deliver the highest quality craftsmanship and seamless client experiences.”
Founded in 2017 by Paul Fitzgerald, MCIOB, the firm focuses its work throughout London and the Home Counties.
“From initial consultation to final completion, we ensure your vision is realised seamlessly and with the highest standards of quality,” its website adds.
It is one of many construction companies in the UK that have faced similar circumstances. Northamptonshire-based Agetur, which was founded in 1985 by Rob Rexton, entered administration in recent weeks, putting hundreds of jobs at risk. Its latest accounts revealed a “sharp dip” in trading up to February 2025, when the company was hit with losses of £600,000.
