140 jobs at risk as Kleeneze ceases trading

Iconic cleaning and beauty products company Kleeneze has ceased trading and entered into administration, putting 140 jobs at risk.

The firm called in FRP Advisory, with David Acland and Anthony Collier appointed joint administrators, citing tough trading conditions.

“The business has ceased to trade but we would urge any parties interested in acquiring the business to contact us as soon as possible. In the meantime, we are assisting employees and stakeholders during this difficult period.”

Annette Bott, Usdaw area organisers, said: “This is clearly a difficult and upsetting time for the 140 staff based in Accrington and Heywood. We are pressing the administrators to find a buyer for the company who will protect jobs and keep the business going. In the meantime we are providing our members with the support, advice and representation they need.”
