Handmade Burger Co closes in Meadowhall as company goes into administration

Handmade Burger Co, which has a restaurant in Meadowhall, has shut 18 restaurants nationally at a cost of 283 jobs.

David Griffiths, Conrad Beighton and Paul Masters of Leonard Curtis Business Rescue & Recovery have been appointed joint administrators of The Burger Chain Ltd.

They said that "despite considerable efforts" to secure a sale of the company’s business, a deal "has not been possible".

Mr Griffiths added: "It is disappointing that circumstances have meant that a sale of the business has not been possible in this case, but our focus now should be on those employees affected by this difficult news.

"We will work hard to provide them with all necessary assistance to claim for monies which remain due to them."

It is unknown how many jobs have been lost due to the closure of the Meadowhall restaurant.
