Autostructures UK has collapsed into administration despite its “reputation for excellence”.
The business once played a pivotal role in helping JCB create the world’s fastest tractor, working alongside JCB engineers to construct the lightweight chassis that enabled the manufacturing giant’s Fastrac model to achieve a record-breaking top speed of 153.771mph.
Autostructures UK describes itself as “a specialist in the manufacture of components and structural assemblies for the automotive and off-highway industries.”
The firm further states on its website: “Products cover a comprehensive range from full chassis frames, to sub-frames, pressed panels and undertrays in both steel and aluminium.”
The company entered administration on 27 March, according to The Gazette, and has published a statement on its website.
It reads: “Christopher Pole, Ryan Grant and Sam Birchall were appointed Joint Administrators of Moveero Ltd – in Administration (the ‘Company’) on 25 March 2026.
“The affairs, business and property of the Companies are being managed by the Joint Administrators.
“Christopher Pole, Ryan Grant and Sam Birchall are authorised to act as insolvency practitioners by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. We are bound by the Insolvency Code of Ethics.”
The firm traces its origins back to 1908 and formerly operated as part of the automotive division of multinational corporation GKN, before being sold in 2020 to private equity firm Aurelius.
