Aberdeen Workwear Maker NERO Closes After 40 Years, Enters Voluntary Liquidation

The liquidator blamed prolonged weakness in North‑east Scotland’s energy sector.

Overview

  • The Aberdeen-based firm has ceased trading after more than 40 years, leaving eight employees redundant as MHA takes over as liquidator.
  • Official filings say a company meeting on April 15 concluded the business could not keep trading because of heavy debts.
  • The liquidator said a long downturn in Scotland’s energy industry put steady strain on the firm’s finances.
  • As part of the wind-down, business assets were sold at auction and the site was handed back to the landlord.
  • NERO made workwear, school uniforms and bespoke protective gear, and had billed itself as Aberdeen’s only direct workwear manufacturer.
