Liquidators at Begbies Traynor are fighting to save an
educational software business that was forced to close its
doors.
Mary Currie-Smith and John Kelly, partners at Begbies Traynor's
Cambridge and Birmingham offices were appointed liquidators to
Logotron Ltd which traded as Widgit Software and Speedwell and had
offices in Chittering, near Cambridge, and Cubbington, near
Coventry, on August 3, 2011.
The businesses had stopped trading on July 22 and all 48 staff
were made redundant.
Mary Currie-Smith said that the company's assets were for sale,
with initial expressions of interest having already been
received.
"Widgit specialises in producing educational software for
autistic children in a language of some 2,000 symbols that autistic
students find it easier to work in.
"Speedwell provides educational software for clients, including
the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales," she
said.
"Widgit has an international presence and its products have a
worldwide market so clearly there are opportunities there and we
are actively seeking interest in both Widgit and Speedwell."
Logotron Ltd traded from Denny Lodge Business Park, Ely Road,
Chittering, Cambridgeshire, and 26 Queen Street, in Cubbington,
Warwickshire.
