A family-owned poultry processing business in Western Australia has been placed into the hands of administrators and its 30-plus employees have lost their jobs.
The West Australian reports that Flown Pty Ltd, which operates a poultry processing plant and a retail outlet in Wanneroo, was placed into the hands of administrators Simon Theobald and Melissa Humann from PPB Advisory on Friday.
Only last year, Flown itself bought a failed Wanneroo poultry wholesaler, the Meat & Poultry Company and Drovers Pastoral Company from liquidators.
Flown, which employed eight full-time and 23 part-time workers, ceased trading when the announcement was made on Friday.
