The administrator’s proposal has outlined that the sale to One New Change Limited has “minimised the company’s liabilities as far as possible, preserved employment for a large proportion of the company’s staff and ensured that the administrators have achieved a better result for the company’s creditor’s as a whole...”
At the time of publishing, Barby Limited owes £3.7 million to HSBC with a further £3 million owed to unsecured creditors. In addition, hundreds of thousands of pounds are also owed to a number of restaurant suppliers such as Berry Bros. & Rudd, OpenTable, Natoora, Daily Fish Supplies amongst others.
A spokesperson for Jamie Oliver commented that "We are continuing to work with the majority of suppliers in Barbecoa St Paul’s and have agreed mutually consensual terms with them.”
