A UK logistics firm specialising in global transport has slumped into administration, adding to the alarming surge in business failures nationwide.
Eagle One Delivery Limited, operating from Appleton Thorn Trading Estate, Unit 3G9 Lyncastle Way, Warrington, has formally entered administration after just a few years in operation.
Launched in 2020, the company focused on international transport, freight forwarding, shipping, warehousing, and storage services. However, the exact number of jobs potentially at risk due to the collapse remains unclear.
The firm’s administration comes as over 100 businesses filed notices this month alone, as reported by The Gazette, highlighting the increasing strain on UK companies. The Gazette is the UK’s official public record for legal and government notices.
In recent weeks, a series of UK companies across multiple sectors have succumbed to administration. The Gazette reveals that over 100 companies have filed notices this month alone.

One notable casualty is The LED Studio LTD, a British manufacturer of large-scale LED screens, which entered administration despite achieving global brand status by 2019 after 16 years in operation.
The company previously touted itself as “known as the industry’s best-kept secret”.
Administrators Andrew Watling and Michael Ian Field of Opus Restructuring have been appointed to oversee the process.
