G.M. Jones & Son Ltd, which was founded in 1989, is an independent distributor that primarily serves the fast-food industry in the West Midlands, Staffordshire, and Shropshire.
The company is “one of a handful” that sells Pukka Pies products, in fresh, frozen, and unbaked forms.
G.M. Jones & Son Ltd offers “competitive pricing with an outstanding service”, according to its website.
G.M. Jones & Son Ltd to close after entering liquidation
After 27 years in business, G.M. Jones & Son Ltd is set to close after voluntarily entering liquidation.
The decision to enter liquidation comes despite the Staffordshire-based company reporting year-on-year sales growth on its website.
Timothy Frank Corfield of Griffin & King was appointed liquidator on Monday (April 20), according to The Gazette.
“No impact” on Pukka Pies products
Following news of G.M. Jones & Son Ltd falling into liquidation, Pukka Pies has assured customers there will be “no impact” on its products.
A Pukka Pies spokesperson, via The Sun, said: “G.M. Jones [and Sons] are one of many suppliers of Pukka Pies.
“We want to reassure customers that there is no impact on the availability of Pukka products.”
“As one of our valued wholesale partners for many years, it’s sad to see them – particularly a fellow family-run company – face challenges in today’s competitive market.
“We’ve worked closely with customers to help them transition smoothly to alternative suppliers so people across the UK can continue to enjoy Pukka products as usual.”
