25 jobs saved as York restaurant fitter bought by Space UK after falling into administration

25 jobs at York-based restaurant and retail store fitter Holmes Catering Equipment Ltd have been secured after the firm went into administration due to cash flow issues.

Administrators, James Sleight and John Twizell, of Geoffrey Martin & Co have reached an agreement with Space UK to buy the assets of the business.

The sale of the business will preserve the Holmes brand going forward and current customer contracts can be continued with certainty, saving around 25 jobs from being lost.

Part of the Holmes Group, York–based Holmes Catering Equipment Ltd specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of full commercial kitchen schemes, food retail displays, bespoke foodservice counters and restaurant interiors.

The business, which works for some of the UK’s leading companies, including Tesco, Morrisons, local authorities, hotel chains and the Royal Household, entered into Administration in October following cash flow issues.
