Safestyle goes into administration

Administrators for Safestyle have said the business has made around 680 of its workers redundant after it fell into administration.

Safestyle UK specialises in the manufacture and installation of double-glazed windows and doors for residential properties. Perhaps known best for their iconic adverts claiming 'you buy one, you get one free, I said, you buy one, you get one free.' in a Yorkshire accent. More recently England and Arsenal Goalkeeper David Seaman was featured in their ads.

Interpath Advisory said around 70 of the door and window maker's 750 employees would be kept on in the short term to help wind down the business.

It comes after Safestyle said on Friday it intended to appoint administrators after failing to find a buyer.

The Bradford-headquartered business has a manufacturing site in Wombwell, near Barnsley and 42 branches and depots across the country.
