Darcey Quigley July Roundup
Table of Contents
As August begins, many businesses take time to pause, plan ahead, and refocus. While the summer months can feel quieter on the surface, they’re the perfect time to get ahead of potential cash flow issues and ensure your credit control processes are working as they should.
In this month’s roundup, we’re sharing industry insights, and updates from the Darcey Quigley & Co team to help you stay on top of overdue invoices and make informed decisions when it comes to commercial debt recovery.
1. Spotlight on our recoveries team
The month of July marked 2 years since Norah Allan joined our Recoveries Team. Norah has helped hundreds of clients recover debts efficiently and professionally.
Norah said “The past 2 years have flown in…each day is different with many challenges but the satisfaction in solving these issues and getting our clients paid makes it worthwhile.”
This month we’re shining a spotlight on our Recoveries team and how they support your business. Here’s how they help:
Dedicated point of contact – You’re assigned a dedicated recovery specialist, like Norah, who keeps you updated every step of the way.
Experienced negotiators: We work to secure payment swiftly, negating the need for legal action.
Tailored approach: No two cases are the same. Our team adapts with ease.
We’re so proud of our brilliant recoveries team and how they support businesses like yours!
2. Construction Sector Alert: Insolvencies Climb – What You Need to Know
The construction industry continues to face intense financial strain, with 389 construction firms entering insolvency in June alone—making up 17% of all UK business failures that month. This marks construction as the hardest-hit sector for yet another month.
What’s behind the numbers? Rising material costs, delayed payments, and ongoing economic uncertainty are all putting pressure on cash flow, especially for subcontractors and SMEs. Many firms are struggling to stay afloat—making credit risk a growing concern for suppliers and partners across the sector.
Why this matters:
If you’re working with businesses in construction, you could be exposed to increased risk of late or non-payment. Early intervention is crucial when signs of financial distress start to show.
✅ Our advice: Don’t wait for invoices to age or write off bad debt. The earlier you act, the more likely you are to recover what’s owed—especially in high-risk sectors like construction.
