Grenfell architect calls in liquidators

Grant Prior 4 years ago

The architect that designed the Grenfell Tower refurbishment scheme has gone into voluntary liquidation.

Documents filed at Companies House show that Studio E appointed Carter Clark as liquidators last week after agreeing to wind-up the business.

Studio E owes £144,000 to creditors according to the liquidator’s report.

The statement of affairs was signed off by Studio E director Andrzej Kuszell.

Studio E previously went into liquidation in 2014 and has been giving evidence to the Grenfell Inquiry.
