George Lafferty, of BTG, was appointed provisional liquidator of Enterprise Foods Limited by Hamilton Sheriff Court, after a petition by the company. The 35-year established Scottish wholesale food supplier "entered liquidation after failing to refinance debts of more than £5m". The business, which was based at Reynolds Avenue in East Kilbride and traded as Localist, was a food service business that helped numerous Scottish suppliers, producers and farmers to sell goods to major retail and food service customers. “There are many small suppliers to the business that are owed money, and the loss of this route to market will also have a serious knock-on effect to these food producers as well." He added: "We are working to assess all claims and establish whether there will be any dividend paid to unsecured creditors, but it is not likely to be significant, given the level of secured debts in the business.
