A statement on the website of Yorkshire-based premium butcher, Farmison & Co, has announced that the company has been placed into administration.
The statement confirmed that the company ceased trading on April 6, 2023 and that administrators, FRP Advisory, had been appointed to manage the company’s affairs, business and property.
The multi-award-winning butchery was founded by Middlesborough-born John Pallagi in 2011 and developed into an online platform supplying quality meat to home cooks across the UK and into mainland Europe. It led with a mission to encourage UK consumers to ‘eat better meat’.
Cut by Farmison was the company’s first UK concept shop, located in Ripon. As well as selling directly to home cooks via its online shop, Farmison also supplied quality produce, including its Saucepan Ready range, to high-end retailers such as Harrods, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason.
The majority of employees were made redundant from the company on appointment of administrators – a loss of 75 jobs.
