Further research on the fiscal status of the UK subsidiary indicates that an application has been filed at Companies House to de-register the UK Company. However, it also appears that a number of creditors have filed objections to this, which would suggest that there are still some serious financial obligations to be addressed before Alterrus can depart the UK corporate scene with a clean sheet. A former employee was very guarded about the UK situation when contacted, except to confirm that all operations had ceased at the Company's Launceston, Cornwall location some time ago, although an R&D facility was still being operated at Paignton Zoo (and no doubt conducting the research for Birds Eye).
