## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 2001 as The Ultimate Plum Pudding Company Limited, to trade the business already established by its directors in 1986. The company manufactured seasonal plum puddings for direct sale to customers. From 1992 the business had been producing personalised labels for its range.

The Company's long-established customer base included independent fundraisers, corporates seeking personalised gifts and sales to retailers under private label.

In 2009, the Company changed its name to The Ultimate Food Company (Kendal) Limited reflecting its wider range of products. From 2012, the Company became a major supplier to Fortnum & Mason, developing and producing its prestigious “Magnificent Christmas Pudding”.
