该公司于1948年以Headlam, Sims & Coggins之名在伦敦上市，表示破产管理人已探索多种救援方案，但最终决定分拆出售部分资产是“对债权人而言最佳且最可行的结果”。不过，公司表示，该出售不太可能全额满足无担保债权人的索赔。
The company, which listed as Headlam, Sims & Coggins in London in 1948, said administrators had explored several rescue routes, but ultimately decided a piecemeal sale of certain assets was the "best and most deliverable outcome for creditors". However, the sale is unlikely to meet the claims of unsecured creditors in full, the company said.
Likewise签署了一份为期九个月的代理协议，协助破产管理人有序出售Headlam的剩余库存，以避免扰乱英国地板市场。
