Kennelpak administration: 51 jobs lost as Nottingham business enters administration

A Nottingham-based business has entered administration, resulting in the loss of 51 jobs.

Kennelpak, a dog food supplier based in Stapleford, has now called in administrators.

Private equity firm Endless initially backed the Kennelpak management team in July 2017. It sold the company's retail arm last year.

Kerry Bailey and Mark Thornton of BDO LLP were appointed joint administrators of Kennelpak Limited on July 3.

Bailey said: "Kennelpak is a well-established operator within the pet food sector.

"Regrettably, on appointment we have had to make 51 people redundant and we are supporting them to make their claims to the redundancy payments service."

Kennelpak, based in Palmer Drive, Stapleford, was founded in 1974.

The company specialised in wholesaling, manufacturing, and distributing a range of pet products, including food, accessories and care items.
