Charles Henshaw & Sons has reportedly contributed to various cultural, commercial, and public buildings, leaving a significant mark on the UK’s architectural landscape.  

Charles Henshaw & Sons managing director Graham Chung said: “Henshaw cladding solutions have set industry standards, and we have worked hard for our position as a trusted partner in the facade sector of the construction industry.

“I am proud of our distinguished reputation built over many decades, and it is with deep regret that, after exploring every avenue to keep afloat, we are unable to continue. 

“We would like to thank our employees, supply chain, consultants, and subcontractors and for their loyal support over the decades.” 

Campbell said that the immediate priority is of supporting the staff and seeking buyers for the business and its assets.
