From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 27 April 2016; its original directors being Christina Power and Filippo Lombardi. Filippo Lombardi resigned on 9 September 2016 and on the same day, Daniel Power was appointed director. As at the date of the administration of the Company, the directors were Christina Power and Daniel Power.
The company commenced trading in August 2016 as a bar and restaurant from leased premises on St Mary’s Gate, Chesterfield S41 7TH. Prior to trading, the premises were refurbished. The directors employed a manager to oversee the day to day running of the bar who then took on a number of staff.
Following a meeting with the company's accountants, the directors were made aware of the significant wage costs of the company and the lack of control over stock purchasing was also highlighted. The Company also received a number of complaints from customers regarding the service that they had received. As a result of these issues, the manager and his wife were made redundant which resulted in a claim being issued against the company for unfair dismissal and discrimination. A number of other employees left of their own accord. The directors managed to replace the staff and improve the service to customers however by this time, the damage had already been done, and the company was generating insufficient turnover to cover the costs of the refurbishment and the day to day running costs.
