The company was negatively impacted following a mild winter which impacted on the traditionally strong sales during this time of the years. The company also went through a major rebranding project which came with significant costs. The business was left with no other option than to seek a buyer.

Ian Walker from Real Business Rescue (part of the Begbies Traynor Group), was appointed joint administrator of the company, and set about finding a buyer. While the company continued to trade during this process, unfortunately 11 of the 38 staff employed by Ted & Muffy were made redundant. A buyer was quickly found in the form of Duo Bootmakers Ltd.
