Unsecured creditors of failed construction company Arrow International NZ are now owed $46 million, according to its liquidators.

The 35-year-old company went into voluntary administration in March, with a raft of major projects underway including apartments in Auckland, Wellington, and Millbrook near Queenstown.

When it went into liquidation in June, its liquidators BDO NZ warned that debts could top $40m.

Andrew Bethell of BDO said that to date, almost 500 claims worth $46m had been made by unsecured creditors and he hoped to finish processing claims within the next reporting period.
