Building materials supplier Lutum goes into administration

Lutum, the national roofing tiles and masonry products supplier spun out of ASX-listed Boral in 2021, went into voluntary administration on Tuesday with outstanding debts of $20 million.

EY administrator Morgan Kelly, appointed with colleagues Martie Tziotis, Stewart McCallum and David Kennedy, said they were working with Lutum’s existing management to keep the business going and find a party willing to recapitalise it, which they hoped to within two to three months.
