Quiligotti Home faces receivers

Quiligotti, the floor coverings group, yesterday asked National Westminster Bank to appoint a receiver to its loss-making subsidiary, Quiligotti Home Products, after that business continued to run up losses. Its principal activity was the manufacture of fireplace hearths and mantels.

The company said QHP was not a core business. Quiligotti's share price closed dowm 1p at 12.5p.
