Yorkshire-based civil engineer Hewlett Construction has gone into administration.

Administrators from the P&A group have been appointed to the SME firm.

In a statement to 好色先生TV, P&A said: 鈥淛ohn Russell and Ashleigh Fletcher of The P & A Partnership in Sheffield were appointed Administrators鈥 of Hewlett Construction Limited on 28 May 2015.

鈥淭he administrators鈥 are currently assessing the company鈥檚 affairs and will report to creditors in due course.鈥

P&A confirmed the Yorkshire-based firm had 140 staff working in its offices in the UK.

Hewlett Construction was formed from a management buy-out from Hewlett Group days after four of its subsidiaries entered administration in January 2013. At the time the deal saved 300 jobs.

The group has five divisions 鈥 highways, power and process, rail, renewable and residential 鈥 and operates from offices in Leeds, Leamington Spa, Corby and Perth in Scotland.

It started expansion into the Middle Eastern market in 2012 and also has a small number of staff working at an office in Muscat, Oman.

Hewlett was recently awarded a contract with the Ministry of Tourism in Oman for an external works package at the five-star Al Bustan Palace Hotel in Muscat.
