Hickory (Scotland) - Administration

Hickory (Scotland), an Edinburgh-based hospitality and catering company, entered administration on 20 November. 

The company was established in 2012 and provided catering services at events including weddings, private and corporate functions and even the Scottish Open.

Hickory employed approximately 140 people in 2023. It reportedly struggled to recover from Covid lockdowns, which was compounded by issues including inflation, rising interest rates and the cost of living crisis.

Charles Turner and Mark Harper of Opus were appointed joint administrators and said they are working with the company’s directors and stakeholders to ensure upcoming events can continue.
