It destroyed our cash flow and they also started deducting a percentage of every transaction and were holding it for six months regardless of the travel date. This crippled us and we had nowhere to turn to," said the firm in a text message statement to Event magazine.
The firm said it "regretted" the situation, although that has done little to placate some suppliers.
"They took our booking in the last few weeks and we will lose almost £1,500 over this," said The Adrenaline Jungle director Don Logan. "Hotels and activity centres I've spoken to have been taken for thousands of pounds."

"As for the UK Activity Centre, it was set up to help rescue the situation but unfortunately didn't have enough time and also ceases to trade with immediate effect," the text said. "We are working very closely with a very approachable administrator to help as many customers and suppliers as possible."
Due to Event's forums one stag-do will have a happy ending. Freedom Stag and Hen has offered a replacement party at Jongleurs for one disappointed customer.
