Holmes Metrotech abruptly left a £19m hotel fit-out job in Shoreditch, east London leaving unpaid bills to its supply chain.

Willmott Dixon is main contractor on the new nhow hotel site where Holmes Metrotech had an M&E package.

Holmes Metrotech is now in the hands of administrators from David Rubin & Partners.

One supplier owed cash said: “This was never going to have a happy ending.

“Once a firm disappears like that you just know what is going to happen and sure enough it has.

“Suppliers like us are yet again left holding worthless bills.”
