It becomes part of FHS which operates a number of companies trading in a completely different field and operating under the Unicorn brand, specialising in waste management, healthcare waste and recycling solutions.

The amount paid for the business and assets of Reflex has not been disclosed.

PwC administrator Paul Rooney said FHS was offering employment opportunities to all existing employees. He said Reflex had called in the administrators because of trading and financial difficulties but there was still a core business.
