Individuals and businesses who believe they are owed money by collapsed building contractor Mitchell are being asked to attend a meeting of creditors next month.
At that meeting – held at St Paul’s Centre beginning at 11am on Thursday 14 November – creditors will be able to find out more about the financial status of the company, including its asset value, the amount of money owed to it and the amount it owes to others.
Creditors will also be asked to nominate liquidators to formally wind up the company.
Mitchell stopped trading at the beginning of this month after 14 years in the building trade.
In a statement at the time, Managing Director Harvey Mitchell cited a "broken planning system with ill-conceived policies" that had limited the number of available projects, and "spiralling labour, plant and material costs" as primary reasons for the firm’s collapse.
