BCL Group halts operations

A local landscaping company has suspended trading and operations due to financial viability problems a fortnight after one of the state's biggest builders, Cooper & Oxley, went into administration.

BCL Group has issued a notice to its suppliers, creditors and subcontractors that it has suspended trading while it undertakes a review of its financial position, according to AAP.

The builder specialises in civil landscape projects and has been awarded tenders on numerous state and local government projects, including the West Coast Eagles Lathlain Precinct Oval and earthworks at Elizabeth Quay.

Managing director Greg Dingwall has spent 25 years in the landscaping industry, while general manager Louie Hancock has more than a decade worth of project management experience.

Cooper & Oxley Builders went into voluntary administration earlier this month after halting work on all its projects because it could not pay its accounts.
