Bugibba Independent Ltd placed into administration by Project D

We are sorry to be reading reports that the Derby-based doughnut manufacturing business, Bugibba Independent Ltd, had been placed into administration by producer and retailer, Project D. The Business Desk reports that the company has “had to make a number of redundancies across both the bakery and office teams.”

Unfortunately, it is common for administrators to make immediate redundancies, without prior warning or any consultation process. A failure to follow a consultation process could lead to employees being able to claim compensation from an Employment Tribunal of up to 90 days’ pay. Such a claim could be pursued if:

  • 20 or more people were made redundant at the same workplace; and
  • There was no information and consultation process, or it wasn’t carried out correctly prior to making redundancies.

If you have been made redundant and need advice, contact our employment team confidentially now for more information.

There are strict Tribunal deadlines within which to pursue these claims, so you mustn’t delay if you believe you may be affected.
