Poplar Products: Assets of Leeds furniture firm set to be auctioned off following collapse
The entire assets of a Yorkshire-based furniture manufacturer are set to be auctioned off after the company fell into administration.
Leeds-based Poplar Products appointed administrators earlier this week on Tuesday, 30 June.
According to its latest accounts, filed to Companies House last year for the 12 months ended 30 November 2024, the company held net assets of just over £800,000.
The company also employed 16 people at the time the accounts were filed.
Founded in 1949, Poplar Products provided design, manufacturing and installation services for retail, hospitality, educational and commercial projects across the UK.
The company’s website, which was down at the time of publication, previously stated: “Since 1949 our family-run facility has built up an enviable reputation for the quality, design and build of our chairs, tables, stools and sofas.”
Yorkshire asset advisory specialist Walker Singleton has now been appointed to dispose of all of the company’s assets via online auction.
Joel Carroll, asset advisory specialist at Walker Singleton, said in a statement: “Poplar Products developed a strong reputation as a family-run business which delivered quality products and services to its diverse range of customers.”
Bidding for the firm’s assets closes from 12pm on Thursday, July 9.
Lots include a powder coating line, engineering and fabrication machinery, a range of welding equipment, as well as a forklift truck and a Renault Lo-Loader van.
The auction also includes a range of finished and showroom stock, such as breakfast bars, chairs, stools and tables. All of the items can be viewed online on the Walker Singleton website..
Walker Singleton is also hosting a viewing day at Poplar Products’ former facility on Ramshead Approach in Seacroft on Wednesday, July 8.
