From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 12 February 2009 and traded from leasehold premises at 122 Malton Avenue, Slough Trading Estate, Slough, Berkshire, SL1 4DE.
The Company traded as an independent distributor of a diverse range of premium quality chilled, frozen and ambient food products to the hospitality industry. It supplies a broad spectrum of the food service sector throughout the UK, including hotel groups, contract caterers servicing offices, other workplaces, schools, theatres and museums, as well as some independent restaurants/cafes.
The Company experienced growth in turnover during its first few years of trade and was profitable from FY13 to FY18, during which time the business grew significantly and began to exceed capacity at its previous premises. It subsequently moved into a larger warehouse on the same estate, which could accommodate its expected future growth.
