Famously Proper Ltd – administration

Famously Proper Ltd, the owner of the Byron Burgers chain and the Mother Clucker takeaway brand, entered administration on 13 January, appointing Joint Administrators from Interpath. Joint administrator Claire Winder said that the company “had seen a boost in trading following the end of the Covid lockdown measures”, but that “sky-high inflation seen in 2022 saw costs spiral and resulted in reduced customer spend, which in turn placed significant cashflow pressure on the business”. Nine of the company’s locations will be closed, impacting 218 jobs, while the remaining 12 sites and 365 jobs will be transferred to Tristar Foods via a pre-pack sale. Pall Mall Secondary Am S.À R.L. has two registered charges against the company.
