Coops EMBS Ltd, a construction company founded in 2010 and based in Sheffield, entered administration on 16 June 2026, putting jobs at risk. The firm provided electrical, mechanical, and building services across commercial, industrial, sports, leisure, retail, health, and education sectors.
Administrators Appointed
Danielle Shore and Stephen Beverley of Leonard Curtis were appointed as joint administrators. A sale could not be secured for the company, leading to the administration process. Danielle Shore stated: "Unfortunately, a sale could not be secured for Coops EMBS and the company subsequently entered administration. Our immediate priority is to support employees through the redundancy process, safeguard the company's assets and fulfil our statutory duties to creditors."
Company Background
Coops EMBS was originally founded as Coops Electrical Limited by Ian Cooper, focusing on commercial and industrial electrical contracting. In 2018, Martin Clawson joined as a director, bringing experience in mechanical and electrical installations. The company expanded in 2020 to include mechanical and building services to meet client demand.
Renewable Energy Division
The company also operated a renewable energy branch, Coops Renewables Limited, founded in 2023. It specialised in solar panel installations, battery storage systems, heat pumps, and EV charging stations for homes and businesses across the UK, aiming to reduce energy costs and carbon footprints.
Impact on Jobs
It is understood that jobs were at risk of redundancy. The Daily Express has contacted Coops EMBS for comment. The company's website confirmed its services to various sectors, but the administration has halted operations.
