A provider of school lunches has gone into liquidation.
The Libelle Group was contracted to deliver about 125,000 lunched a day to the major contractor Compass.
Libelle’s shareholders have appointed Deloitte as liquidators on Tuesday.
Liquidator David Webb said they were urgently talking to Compass to keep the service going, while they urgently review Libelle’s position.
The school lunch programme has been mired in controversy with complaints about inadequate and poorly prepared meals.
More to come…
