The Sella Furniture Group has entered administration following insurmountable financial problems.
Headquartered in Bury, Lancashire and with a factory in Dundee, Sella produced several ranges of office furniture including desks, storage and seating products. It also offered a planning service to map out customer requirements for new office suites.
