Leather and finished products manufacturing group Pittards confirmed on September 4 that it has appointed administrators to take responsibility for selling its assets, writes Leatherbiz.
It said Lucy Winterborne and Daniel Hurd of Ernst & Young will act as joint-administrators.
However, it also said the administrators were already “at an advanced stage of negotiations” to sell the company’s business and assets to a new owner. This will include Pittards’ subsidiaries in Ethiopia.
The administrators expect to bring this transaction to reach a formal close by September 6 at the latest. They said that if the transaction cannot be concluded, they will “assess available options to realise value for the company’s creditors”.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
