Major West Midlands firm enters administration after 40 years, all staff redundant

Established in 1982, the company faced financial challenges under tough market conditions.

According to Insider Media, more than 30 jobs have been lost at a longstanding manufacturer of road signage products following its collapse into administration.

Raj Mittal and Arvindar Jit Singh of FRP Advisory were appointed as joint administrators of Morelock Signs on 28 October 2025.

The company, based in Willenhall, was established in 1982 and supplied customers across the UK. According to the administrators, the business had been facing sustained financial pressures amid challenging market conditions.

It has now ceased trading, with all 33 employees made redundant as a result of the administration.

The company has two subsidiaries — Morelock Installations Limited and Rennick Signs Ireland Limited — which are not subject to insolvency proceedings at this stage.

Raj Mittal, joint administrator and partner at FRP, said: “Morelock Signs has a long history in the UK signage industry and a skilled workforce that has contributed to projects across the country, but unfortunately, the business has been unable to overcome recent financial challenges.

Our immediate priority is to support the employees affected and to explore any potential interest in the business or its assets.”
