At the time of seeking the advice of Real Business Rescue (part of the Begbies Traynor Group), a total of 115 staff were employed across the establishments, with a further nine people working in its head office.

The Problem

The business suffered a downturn in takings thanks to a decline in footfall across a number of the establishments. This slump was attributed to roadworks associated with the £500 million Paradise project, parallel to the Mechu Bar and Grill, a venue which is responsible for 70 per cent of the company’s turnover.

The Solution

With the obstructive roadworks ongoing, the company was unable to carry on trading with no prospect of trade picking up. Real Business Rescue was appointed to handle the company’s affairs and work out a way forward. After placing the company into liquidation, the business was later sold to a newly-formed company.
