flag Blanchford Building Supplies, founded in 1938, closed after 87 years due to financial struggles, with creditors getting 5.8p on the pound.

flag Blanchford Building Supplies, a long-standing Oxford-based company founded in 1938, has entered liquidation after 87 years of operation, ending its presence across five locations. flag The firm, which ceased trading earlier this year due to financial difficulties including cash flow issues and stock shortages, had debts exceeding £3.3 million. flag Administrators from BDO LLP confirmed unsecured creditors will recover about 5.8p in the pound, while Barclays Bank and HMRC are expected to be repaid in full. flag The Wallingford yard was sold for £775,000, and all online platforms have been taken down. flag The liquidation follows a formal administration process that yielded a better outcome than immediate winding-up.
