Grimsby seafood business enters administration after abrupt plant closure

Cook & Lucas Frozen (UK) Limited has entered administration.

The company is an established importer, processor and supplier of seafood and whitefish, operating a smokehouse and processing plant in Grimsby.

On 10 January 2023, the company abruptly closed its plant in Grimsby, with approximately 80 members of staff being laid off. Following this unannounced closure, the company’s secured lender took steps to protect its position and sought the appointment of the joint administrators – James Clark and Howard Smith from Interpath Advisory.

James Clark, Managing Director at Interpath Advisory and joint administrator, said: “Given the circumstances surrounding our appointment, our immediate priority is to take steps to secure the company’s assets, while seeking to gather further information about the company’s financial position.”
