Administrators for Highland firm MacKellar Sub-Sea and its subsidiaries report plenty of interest in the businesses.
Grantown-based MacKellar collapsed last week, leaving nearly 100 workers facing an uncertain future after the bosses called in administrators.
The group employs 97 full and part-time staff, of which 86 are employed at the main Grantown site – a five-acre purpose-built fabrication and assembly facility.
A further 11 people work for MacKellar subsidiary Tritech Nairn, a grit-blasting and painting operation at premises on the former RAF base in Kinloss.
It is the second business failure in 10 years for the MacKellar family, following the collapse of 30-year-old company MacKellar Engineering in 2005.
