Utility Alliance Ltd s head office at Hartlepool marina.
Established in 2015 with just six staff on the Queens Meadow business park in Hartlepool, Utility Alliance helped businesses to manage their utility bills through consultancy and specialist technology.
It enjoyed rapid growth, employing over 500 people at one point and opened offices in Sheffield and Newcastle.
But Covid-19 is said to have caused significant financial challenges as businesses used less energy.
The administrators also revealed that as well as trying to secure new investment, bosses tried to sell the business last year without success.
FRP say say they will now work with the staff affected to access all available support, and the business’s creditors.

As challenging a year as it was, one of the upsides of 2020 was that it gave us increased opportunities to spend time outdoors. We are so fortunate, here on the South Shore, to have a seemingly endless supply of parks, preserves, and conservation areas.
Last year each of these Nature columns was devoted to a specific town, highlighting some of the best walking places to be found there. This year we’ll be returning to more varied themes, with the continued intention of introducing you to, or reacquainting you with, a wide variety of places to hike, to fish, to paddle . . . or just to enjoy the view.
