A company involved in the construction sector collapsed with just $6 left in its bank account and now owes creditors more than $2 million.

The family business, which was run by father and son duo Stephen and Troy Sargent, provided supplies and inspections for lift installations and was headquartered in Sydney.All Safe staff were informed that their employment had terminated by being provided with the business card of the appointed liquidators, Daniel O’Brien and Danny Vrkic of restructuring firm DV Recovery Management.

Troy Sargent told news.com.au his mother’s family had funded this new business, ASG Co Pty Ltd, which he was now working for. He said his father Stephen does not work there and has nothing to do with the new business. Local sign-writers have been contacted to remove signage which still advertises for All Safe at the location, he added.The liquidators of All Safe found there was no evidence of illegal phoenixing activity, nor does news.com.au suggest any phoenixing occurred.

“I really feel terrible for any former employee who has lost their super. It’s the last thing I wanted to happen.”“For the last 12 or 18 months seemed to be running on the bones of its arse,” Chris added, explaining they would have to pay upfront for most of their orders as suppliers got skittish.
