Understanding the 2026 Liquidation Landscape – What Business Owners Need to Know
This webinar is designed to give subtrade business owners clear, accessible, and actionable insights during a challenging period for the industry.
The construction sector is under intense financial pressure, and scaffolding companies have been hit especially hard. January 2026 alone saw 115 liquidation applications across New Zealand, with construction leading the trend.
To help subtrade business owners understand the real risks and the practical steps they can take, we are joined by Iain Shephard, a Partner at BDO specialising in Business Restructuring. With more than 25 years’ experience in liquidations, receiverships, voluntary administration, and turnaround management—including direct experience working with scaffolding and access organisations—Iain is known for his pragmatic and clear advice.
