The founder of a window and door company which was placed into liquidation with €2 million worth of unfulfilled orders has insisted he did everything he could to get through “difficulties” faced by his firm. Darragh Kane, sole director of
DK Windows and Doors Ltd, said the company “bent over backwards”, but was unable to overcome the challenges it faced last year.
He said he had an investor lined up in late 2024 but this fell through, and he faced other issues including a “factory fire” with a supplier.
“We honestly tried to do best by the customers,” he told the Business Post. “We had no intention of closing the doors,” he added.
Kane is facing more than 200 angry creditors, some of whom allege his company took in deposits when it should have known that orders could not be honoured.
Kane said he had put hundreds of thousands of his own money into the company and was now “bankrupt” as a result.
