From the administrators' statement
SCL was incorporated on 25 August 2020 and has traded under its registered name from incorporation. SCL was established by founders, Calum Mackinnon and Andrew Waugh. SCL operated as a leading UK-based hospitality provider specialising in cricket simulation activities as well as offering food and drink and catering for parties and events. The SCL brand is well known within the competitive socialising space and traded amongst notable industry counterparts such as Clays and Flightclub.
Following SCL’s incorporation, the business grew significantly and by the date of the Administrators’ appointment operated from nine owned sites as well as maintaining eight domestic and one international franchise locations. Prior to the Administrators’ appointment, SCL had a US franchise location in Dallas, Texas. This franchise was operated by a US Group entity Sixes Cricket LLC, and the Administrators understand that this location had been wound down prior to the Administrators’ appointment.
SCL is owned entirely by MCL. MCL acted as the Parent Company of the wider Group and carried out Head Office functions, as well as holding certain (management) employee contracts.
