According to Rail Advent, the VLR Innovation Centre operators have fallen into administration. What the impact on the the Coventry VLR will be is not yet clear. The article is a fairly short one at present, link below.
Not a good day for VLR in a wider context either.

The Coventry VLR trail is set to expand with £12m allocated by the DfT to to extend the track from Coventry Station to Coventry University.
