An engineering firm, Gilks, has ceased trading after more than six decades, leading to the redundancy of 105 workers. The company, which had operations in Nantwich, Cheshire, and Anglesey, entered administration due to significant financial pressures and challenging market conditions within its sector. Administrators confirmed that despite exploring various options, including seeking investment and restructuring, a viable future for the business could not be secured.
