Hide AdDeloitte said no redundancies had been made, but added it had asked employees to stop working, as the firm was unable to continue trading until financing is in place.
Matt Cowlishaw, partner in Deloitte's reorganisation services team in the Midlands, said: "It is extremely disappointing to see such a well-known business enter administration.
"The company worked extremely hard to try and recapitalise the business, but unfortunately this could not be achieved in the time available."
