The death of a company can be a sad thing. It can be a distressing time for employees facing the prospect of unemployment. Here we list the oldest companies that have gone into administration. Old companies have history and can be well established - sometimes representing well known brands. Although the company had gone into administation, it can does have to mean the death of the company.
