• .1 buyer is being sought for fire engine manufacturer Carmichael Fire after its parent called in the receiver last week. The £38mturnover Carmichael Group hit trouble because it failed to trim its 240 workforce at Worcester and West Bromwich in line with a fall in production, says receiver Cork Gully.
It will consider selling the four divisions separately. The largest is Carmichael Fire whose products, including Land Rover-based units and 8x8 airfield crash tenders, turned over £31.5m last year. Other divisions are £3m-turnover Carmichael Bulk, which makes bulk powder carrying vehicles and triple-deck livestock carriers; Carmichael Spares and Service and Carmichael Aerial Access.
