Thu, 29 Mar 2012 | ADMINISTRATION
DBC Foodservice has entered administration, with Baker Tilly appointed to handle proceedings.
The firm was founded in 1902 as the Danish Bacon Company, but in the 1990s it expanded to supply a wider range of foods to retailers and the catering industry from its 12 UK depots. Nine of its locations are based in England, with one in Wales, Scotland and in Northern Ireland.
A number of buyers are said to be in discussions with Baker Tilly to purchase DBC Foodservice after it was put on the market last week, but as yet no buyer has been found for the firm.
A statement from the administrators read: "DBC is a very well established business which has enjoyed a great reputation over a prolonged period. It is obviously very disappointing to see the company enter into administration.
"We are in discussions with a number of interested parties, some of which are at an advanced stage. We are hopeful that we will be able to secure a future for certain areas of the business."
The firm employs around 1,000 people across its various depots and is headquartered in Welwyn Garden City following a move out of London during World War II.
This business opportunity presents a solid foundation for expansion within the aviation sector, backed by a strong management team and a robust client base spanning over two decades.
An exciting opportunity to acquire a well-established business specialising in recruitment, with a proven track record in connecting top talent with leading employers.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a business specialising in labour recruitment and personnel provision, known for its reliable workforce solutions across various industries.
