Gemini Riteway falls into administration

ADVERTISEMENT

The Construction Enquirer has reported that leading south-east scaffolder Gemini Riteway has fallen into administration .

The Enquirer understands that staff were told last week that the company was in the hands of administrators and many had their contracts terminated.

But the company is believed to have restarted operations under the name of ANT Structures.

Gemini Riteway’s former Guildford head office has closed but staff were answering the phones at the Horsham branch using the ANT Structures name.

The Enquirer was also referred to the “new” head office in Guildford which had the same contact details as ANT Structures.

No-one at Gemini or ANT was prepared to comment on last week’s events.

Gemini built its reputation working on a series of commercial contracts across the southeast where the firm worked for a host of major contractors.
