Major UK kitchen supplier goes bust after five decades with all jobs lost

A major UK kitchen supplier has gone bust and is closing down its four companies, with dozens of staff expected to lose their jobs.

The tile-maker encountered serious financial difficulties despite a number of cash injections, and has now been forced to shut down its four companies. Ceramique Internationale Ltd in Leeds, Rowmarl Ltd in Bedford, and Spectrum Tiles Ltd and Euxton Tile Supplies Ltd, both based in Lancashire , have all gone bust.

Since its founding in 1974, Ceramique Internationale has sourced tiles from leading Italian and Spanish tile manufacturers. Their products were used for residential, commercial, and office buildings.

The group's head office was located in Euxton, Lancashire, at the same location as Spectrum Tiles Ltd and Euxton Tile Supplies Ltd.
