ENGINEERING firm BGM Cryogenic Engineering has been put up for sale after going into administration.

A total of 39 workers at the Witney firm were made redundant last week after being told to pick up their tools and leave.

Dawn Chapman, a spokesman for administrators BDO Stoy Hayward, said: "The company has ceased to trade. We are considering offers for the business."

Workers are still owed a month's wages, but Ms Chapman added that the Government would compensate them up to the value of £290 a week.
