The news over the last few days of the Rork group of companies collapsing is a startling reminder of the reality of the current Australian economic climate.
Rork Group had 63 construction projects spread across QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC at the time of its collapse.
Administrators for the company have reported that the company owes debts of nearly $30 million. Of this, over half is owed to unsecured creditors including subcontractors, trade suppliers and such. Many of these subcontractors and trade suppliers will have assets such as tools and supplies on Rork sites and have unpaid invoices.
So, what will likely happen to these assets and invoices?
Administrators will shut down operations and try to recover as much money as possible to repay creditors.
Secured creditors get preference for repayment and unless assets on site are in the PPS register as belonging to another party, they may well be sold to recover funds for the business.
Administrators will look to sell parts of the business and or projects as going concerns, but these are likely to be something of a fire sale. The result will be a significant shortfall in cash to pay debts and could take months to complete.
Unsecured creditors will probably only receive cents on the dollar if anything at all.

This was causing an issue for a loan and was very time critical. I was able to reach Tanya after hours and she not only helped me through sorting it out but followed up to make sure I was being looked after first thing the next morning. Very impressed with Tanya's support and the speed of EC Credit Control.Carissa Taylor14.

February, 2024.Due to the fast growth of our business and increasing size dollar value size of our orders it was obvious we needed to tighten our trade legality terms to ensure the safety of our assets be they business or personal liabilities. After some positive interactions with Chris last year we decided to meet up with EC just last week to discuss. The information presented was concise and explained brilliantly making it simple for us to understand our current requirements and what to do next.
