The UK Government has confirmed that a winding-up order has been issued for NRS Healthcare, a prominent supplier of community healthcare equipment. This follows reports of the company’s financial instability and imminent compulsory liquidation. The court has appointed the Official Receiver, Gareth Jonathan Allen, as Liquidator, with assistance from PwC’s Mark James Tobias Banfield and other Special Managers to support the process.
NRS Healthcare, which employed around 1,500 staff and provided essential healthcare equipment to the NHS and over 40 councils across England and Northern Ireland, is now under liquidation. The company supplied products such as wheelchairs, hoists, hospital beds, and fall-monitoring pendants, alongside offering maintenance and repair services.
The Official Receiver has a duty to investigate the cause of NRS Healthcare’s financial difficulties and the actions of its directors. Customers and suppliers affected by the liquidation are advised to contact the Special Managers to register as creditors and submit their claims for any unpaid goods or services.
With the liquidation process underway, stakeholders are urged to complete the necessary documentation to ensure their claims are processed.
