Sam Birchall and Steve Absolom from Interpath were appointed Joint Administrators of Elements (Europe) Limited (“Elements Europe”) on Wednesday 4 June 2025.
Incorporated in 2005 and trading from a manufacturing facility located in Telford, Shropshire - Elements Europe specialises in off-site volumetric design and manufacturing of room modules and bathroom pods for use in residential developments, student accommodation, and hotels across the UK.
Historically, the business acted as a subcontractor providing room modules and bathroom pods to its customer base. In 2021, the Company expanded its offering and took on two construction projects as main contractors in Hackney, East London, (the “East Road Project”) and in Birmingham (the “Camp Hill Project”).
Unfortunately, both these contracts have incurred losses, resulting in a significant cash requirement. In response, the directors sought to explore options for the sale, investment, and/or refinancing of the Company; however, when it became clear that a solvent outcome was not possible, the directors took steps to protect the interest of creditors by placing the Company into Administration.
Sam Birchall, managing director at Interpath and joint administrator, said: “Sadly Elements Europe has not been immune to the headwinds facing the construction sector. Our intention is to pause work on the ongoing contracts at East Road and Camp Hill whilst we explore options to rescue all or parts of the Elements business.”
It is with regret that 141 of the Company’s 217 employees have been made redundant. 76 have been retained to support the Joint Administrators with their duties.
Steve Absolom, managing director at Interpath and joint administrator, said: “As a priority, we will be providing support to those employees who have been impacted by redundancy. We are also seeking buyers for the Company’s assets, and would invite interested parties to make contact with us as soon as possible.”
