From the administrators' statement
Forge Bakehouse Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated on 14 August 2012 by Martha Christou Brown to operate in the retail sale of bread, cakes and confectionery.
The Company was purchased by the parent company Cplg Limited in August 2022 and Craig Guest was appointed as the new sole director. In November 2022 Gareth Hunt was appointed as a director however he resigned in May 2023.
The director had experience from multiple years as a business owner and team builder for SME and Tier 1 Companies and had previously overseen one of the world’s largest retail divestitures on behalf of Wal Mart. The director had also overseen several projects involving improving business processes and implementing new systems and believed this could be replicated with Forge Bakehouse Limited.
