Quality Bites, a West Midlands frozen food supplier stocked in over 1,000 independent supermarkets, has entered liquidation.

Quality Bites, a West Midlands-based frozen food supplier, has entered liquidation after 13 years of trading. The company, which described itself as 'one of the leading manufacturers of ethnic foods in the UK', supplied halal products including samosas, kebabs and crispy chicken to more than 1,000 independent supermarkets and grocery stores across the country.

The company was voluntarily wound up on 7 October, according to The Gazette. Deviesh Raikundalia of Hall Chadwick (UK) Limited has been appointed as liquidator. Notices to creditors and resolutions for winding-up were published on 22 October.

Quality Bites worked with retailers, wholesalers and distributors nationwide. The closure comes during a difficult period for British businesses, with high street names including Claire's and Quiz forced to close all remaining stores after falling into administration this year. Major hospitality company Whitbread also closed all its standalone branded restaurants across the UK last month, including Brewers Fayre and Beefeater, affecting around 30,000 staff across both chains.
