Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 09:57 · Archive

Quality Bites, a halal frozen food brand stocked in over 1,000 UK independent supermarkets, has voluntarily entered liquidation and closed.

Quality Bites, a halal frozen food brand, has closed after 13 years in business. The company voluntarily entered liquidation on 7 October and was wound up according to The Gazette. It was established in May 2013.

Quality Bites described itself as 'one of the leading manufacturers of ethnic foods in the UK'. The company supplied a range of ethnic frozen foods including samosas, kebabs and crispy chicken. It worked with retailers, wholesalers and distributors nationwide, providing products to more than 1,000 independent supermarkets and grocery stores across the country.

Deviesh Raikundalia of Hall Chadwick (UK) Limited has been appointed as liquidator for the company.

The closure is part of a broader period of difficulty for the UK high street. Major brands including Claire's and Quiz have closed all their remaining stores after falling into administration. Fashion retailer Leading Labels is set to close its remaining 15 stores after entering liquidation in May. Whitbread closed all its standalone branded restaurants across the UK last month, though Queensway Inns and Common Table Group have since taken over 110 of these former sites. Other retailers announcing closures include TG Jones and the British Heart Foundation, each closing around 150 stores, and Wynsors World of Shoes, which is shutting 17 stores. Entertainment retailer Zavvi has ceased trading after nearly 20 years, having collapsed into administration for a second time.
