    what a shame, its never good hearing such news.
    Everyone is a genius,
    but if you judge a fish
    on its ability to climb a tree,
    it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.....

    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".

    I wonder if this is the start of many such collapses as our public spending cuts start to bite?

    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.
