The B&B Group and B&B Bridgeworks is understood to be trading normally out of the head office based in Leigh, Greater Manchester, and fabrication facility located at Ince, near Wigan.
The original B&B Bridgeworks business was established more than 20 years ago building a strong track-record on major bridge refurbishment works.
This resulted in the company being approached by clients requesting assistance on other forms of structures and the formation of B&B Steelworks to manage and undertake the design, supply and erection of structural steelwork for other building projects.
A source told the Enquirer: “The group employed about 60 staff, around 30 have gone and the rest are waiting to hear what is happening going forward.”
