Liquidators have been appointed to the main sponsor of a Scottish Premiership football club.
His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs applied to a Scottish court to have the family-owned firm wound up.
Richard Gardiner of Thomson Cooper was appointed liquidator to G4 Claims Limited, a Wishaw-based business that is on the shirt of Motherwell Football Club.
G4 Claims is listed as the "main sponsor and front of shirt partner" on Motherwell's website.
Motherwell said in a press release in 2023: "In the biggest deal of its kind for the Club, the G4 Claims logo will move from our back of shirt partner to become the main name on the front of the men’s first team shirts for the next three years."
It also said at the time: "G4 Claims are a family-run company with strong links to the local community and their philosophy has always been and always will be, to look after customers to the highest possible standard."
Nicole Rudder is listed as the owner of the business on its website.
The site says: “G4 Claims is a family-run business and our philosophy has and always will be to look after our customers to the highest possible standard.
“Customer service is crucial to our business and our award-winning team will look after you in your time of need.
“G4 Claims is an accident management company based in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. We provide the quickest, most reliable and friendliest service to anyone involved in a non-fault car accident covering the whole of Scotland.”
Ms Rudder was featured in The Herald earlier when she took over a 17th century castle in the Clyde Valley.
The most recently available accounts for G4 Claims at Companies House show creditors including “taxation and social security” of £164,016.
The company and the club have been contacted for comment.
Aberdeen firm sold after falling into administration
The business and assets of an Aberdeen company that designs and builds kerbside solutions for electric vehicles – and was backed by the Scottish National Investment Bank – have been acquired out of administration in a pre-pack deal.
Administrators were appointed yesterday to Trojan Energy, which has received £28 million of investment from the state-funded SNIB, after being unable to secure the level of new funding it needed to support its long-term growth plans.
The business and assets were immediately sold to Urban EV Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Connected Kerb Limited, via a pre-pack process.
All 63 Trojan employees will transfer to Connected Kerb as part of the deal.
