Hmmm....
It sounds like they called in the administrators far far far too late... By the time they _were_ called, there was nothing worth saving...
The prospect of 2e2 administrator FTI selling the entire UK operation of the stricken integrator in one swoop was dealt a blow this weekend after several key suitors walked away from a deal.

If you have good 2e2 staff on site you should be looking at options to in-source them immediately. Don't go rushing off to the competition hoping the good staff will be TUPE'd into your new supplier, take the good staff on yourself.
