Why it went into administration
- Sustained trading losses
From the administrators' statement
The business operated from two sites in the Hereford area, one site being a leasehold diner on the Rotherwas industnal estate that served the surrounding businesses and trade, the other a leasehold premmses from which the Company operated its external catering business.
The catering side of the business expenenced continuing losses in 2011, generated from declining margins in tough trading conditions.
The above culminated in the directors taking the steps to close the catering business in November 2011. The remaining diner business was marginally profitable, however, did not generate enough cash to discharge historical liabilities, redundancy and other associated costs of closing the catering business.
