Its worse than that it is Tulloch's as well, Rok Group owns the whole shabang (except I think Tulloch Homes but I might be wrong).
From their web site: "PricewaterhouseCoopers, were appointed as joint administrators of Rok plc and Rok Building Limited".

But Rok's financial director got hoofed for 'irregularities' recently. Has he snaffled all the sponds?

They've been in trouble for a while, despite winning significant contracts locally. If you check out Newsbot business doobry, HIE seem a bit cross.
