CAPA appointed on grand hotel with history spanning two centuries
Find out moreCAPA has been appointed to conduct audits on a 178-year-old Scottish hotel, famed for pioneering hydrotherapy treatments in the late 1800s, that has now fallen into administration.
FRP Advisory, which is managing the administration of the Glenburn Hotel, has instructed CAPA to undertake a rates audit of the hotel as the corporate restructuring firm looks for a new owner of the historic site.
FRP is looking for a purchaser to acquire a hotel that was built in 1843 on a hilltop site on the Isle of Bute, perched over the Firth of Clyde.
It was believed to be the first ever hotel in Scotland to offer hydropathic treatments when it opened in 1892.

CAPA instructed on construction firm, after Covid-19’s lasting impact
Find out moreThe administrators of a construction firm that once had a major presence in the north west of England have appointed CAPA to audit sites the business traded from.

CAPA reports increase in recoveries on CVLs and MVLs
Find out moreCAPA has seen a rise in recoveries from audits on companies that opted for a members voluntary liquidation (MVL), as well as firms in a creditors voluntary liquidation (CVL), during the past year.
When corporate restructuring firms are appointed as liquidators or administrators of insolvent businesses, CAPA’s Audit team assists them in recovering funds for creditors.
CAPA believes there are further opportunities to recover funds for creditors in cases where businesses have entered an MVL or a CVL, at a time where CVL numbers in particular remain comparatively high.
While administrations trend historically low due to prolonged government support, Insolvency Service figures show that of the corporate failures that are crystallising, the majority are CVLs.
The government agency’s Q1 figures show there were 2,384 company insolvencies between January and March. Of this total, 2,047 were CVLs.
Despite a tough environment for businesses trading through and out of a pandemic, recoveries for CAPA’s clients have continued to grow from the audits the team have undertaken on companies in either a CVL or MVL process.
The Audit team has had particular success during the past year across rates audits on firms in these liquidation processes, with the team recovering £160,000 for creditors – recoveries that might otherwise assumed to have been difficult or impossible.
