A firm that made vehicles for the emergency services has gone into administration.

O&H Vehicle Conversions Limited, based in Goole, East Yorkshire, specialised in making both NHS and private ambulances and rapid response vehicles for the police.

Administrators BDO confirmed that operations have ceased and 157 employees have been made redundant with immediate effect.

Mark Thornton, of BDO, said: "It is always a sad day when a longstanding business is forced to close. Given the financial position and outlook for the company, securing a sale of the business as a going concern was not possible."

The administrators said they were appointed on 13 February due to the company facing "financial pressures affecting the wider vehicle conversion industry."

BDO have appointed CAPA to carry out a property audit over the companies various premises.
