“It is an extremely competitive sector and the business has been challenged by a slowdown in sales and pressure on margins,” Glen Kavensky, one of the administrators, said. “We are currently examining the trading position of the business and will be working closely with all key stakeholders to allow the business to continue to operate as normal. A date for a creditor’s meeting will be announced shortly.”
