Greybull, which specialises in turning around distressed businesses, paid former owners Tata Steel a nominal £1 in 2016 for the unprofitable company, which they renamed British Steel. The collapsed merger leaves the wider EU steel sector fragmented and vulnerable to economic downturn. It also calls into question the fate of Britain’s largest steelworks in Port Talbot, Wales, owned by Tata Steel.

Earlier this month, it appeared to have secured the backing of lenders and shareholders to continue operating as Brexit uncertainty hit its order book, with customers recoiling from the possible threat of tariffs. The second source said the British government was reluctant to hand over more cash as Greybull could get the funds if the business fails.
