A UK food distributor, G.M. Jones and Sons, has gone into liquidation after nearly four decades of trading.
The Pukka Pies supplier, which has been in operation since 1989, saw a government gazette issued on Thursday, April 23, confirming that Timothy Frank Corfield of Griffin and King had been appointed as liquidator.
Liquidation represents the formal legal procedure through which a company ceases trading.

This typically involves the sale of the firm’s assets to raise funds, which are then distributed amongst creditors and shareholders.
“We are one of a handful of companies that sell Pukka Pies products, in fresh, frozen and unbaked form,” the company states on its website.
Its primary customer base comprises fast food businesses across the West Midlands, Staffordshire and Shropshire regions, reports the Mirror.
Despite G.M. Jones and Sons reporting consistent year-on-year sales increases, according to its website, the firm becomes the latest in a growing number of British businesses collapsing into liquidation.
