## From the administrators' statement

Henry Nuttall was first established in 1865 and has served the fish and chips industry for over 150 years. The Company was incorporated on 12 October 2004 and operated as a manufacturer designing and supplying customs frying systems tailored to customers across the UK.

In March 2024, the former director and shareholder (George Price) passed away, with ownership passing to his wife (Susanne). Management reported that customer interest and product demand began to decline in addition to facing increased cost pressures.

In September 2024, a corporate finance agent was engaged to market the business online on a share sale basis. A buyer was identified, however, following due diligence revised their offer to acquire the business and assets only. No sale took place.
