Kennelpak Limited - Administration

Kennelpak Limited, a Nottingham-headquartered wholesale supplier and distributor of pet food, entered administration on 3 July, with Kerry Bailey and Mark Thornton of BDO appointed as joint administrators.

The company, which was founded in 1974, was acquired by private equity firm Endless in 2017. Endless has since sold Kennelpak’s retail division, Pets & Friends, made up of 19 stores and 17 grooming salons, to PSR Trading.

The reasons behind the administration have not been revealed.

On their appointment, the joint administrators sold the Yakers dog chew brand to Asisi Pet Care via a pre-pack deal that saved two jobs. Unfortunately, another 51 employees have been made redundant.

Endless, Sheila Greaves & Simon Constance, and Secure Trust Bank have registered charges against the company.
