THE appointment of Mr Paul Wyse, of Oliver Ereaney and Co, as liquidator to the five companies left after the sale of the business and assets of Tipperary Crystal last October, was not challenged by creditors at meetings in Clonmel yesterday.

Yeoman International, through is subsidiary Asdon Ltd, bought the venture as a going concern for an undisclosed price. It continues to employ over 60 people in the business, which it has said it intends to develop.

The five companies left after the sale were: Brandyfield Ltd; Crystal Designs of Tipperary Ltd; Tipperary China, Crystal, Porcelain, Silver & Gold Ltd; Tipperary Crystal Company Ltd; and Tipperary Crystal Manufacturing Company (Sales) Ltd.
