The administration of the original Emoov company has been extended until December next year.

Administrators James Cowper Kreston made an application for the extension at the High Court, with the agreement of the creditors.

Emoov, founded by Russell Quirk, went into administration on December 3 last year.

The company’s name, website and technology was subsequently bought out of administration by start-up firm Mashroom, which has since relaunched the business.
