In a statement issued to WLR News, Company Directors Matthew, Martin and Philip O'Shea said the decision was made after a long period of reflection. "The company was founded in the early 1970’s by our late father John O’Shea. Since we joined the company we have between us given almost 140 years' service. However, we cannot continue in business indefinitely.

"We would like to thank our customers and our suppliers for their unfailing support. Most of all, we would like to thank our staff for their many years of dedication and loyalty.

"It has been and remains our hope to sell the business as a going concern before our retirement. Discussions with interested parties are ongoing.

"Once again we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our stakeholders."
