From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated in October 2022 and commenced trading from six sites in November of that year following acquisition of the assets of Ping Pong Limited (“PPL”). The assets were acquired via a pre-packaged administration sale from the insolvent estate of PPL acting by its Joint Administrators’, Asher Miller and Stephen Katz of this firm. The Company separately entered a brand licensing agreement with the owner of the “Ping Pong’ IPR at this time.
-3The Company operated a chain of Chinese dim sum restaurants in prime central London locations along with a central production kitchen facility in Woolwich. The restaurants served handmade dumplings, buns, puffs and crispy dim sum, along with a selection of cocktails and other drinks.
The majority of the dim sum was sourced from a supplier in Thailand. The dim sum was ordered in significant quantities, with it being frozen and shipped to the UK to be held at the central production kitchen and distributed to the restaurants as required.
