Sussex Bakes, Trading as More Foods, Enters Administration

Administrator control now shapes the fate of the Chichester factory.

Overview

  • An official London Gazette notice confirmed the company entered administration on May 11.
  • David Kemp and Richard Hunt of Exigen Group Limited were appointed as joint administrators to assess rescue or sale options.
  • The Chichester site spans 28,000 square feet and employs about 120 people, leaving staff facing uncertainty over job security.
  • The factory makes branded lines and supplies own‑label baked goods to major retailers and food‑service clients, which could disrupt deliveries if operations change.
  • This marks a second collapse in a decade after a 2017 going‑concern sale to Sussex Bakes that preserved 150 roles.
