A debt-ridden Black Country conservatory firm that went into administration has been bought, halting fears customers would be left out of pocket.

Easy Fit, in West Bromwich Road, Walsall, has been taken over by Indigo Products, which is based in Brickyard Road, Aldridge.

Easy Fit went into administration last week, leaving 34 members of staff redundant. Few of those workers are expected to be taken back on.

While former suppliers and contractors remain unlikely to recoup hundreds of thousands of pounds they were owed by the firm, the new owners today said they would honour agreements with hundreds of customers who had outstanding contracts with Easy Fit.

Chief Executive Officer at Indigo’s parent company Tradeframe Holdings, Will Nicoll, revealed takeover talks had been held in the weeks before Easy Fit went to the wall.

But he said that it had been clear the firm was in too much financial trouble.

“I would like to reassure all Easy Fit customers that we will honour their deposits and fulfil their purchases,” he said.

“Our buyout will ensure that no customer loses out and that Easy Fit has a sustainable future.”
