Quantuma appointed administrators over Surrey-based Fairoak Foods
Kelly Mitchell and Alyson Richards from business advisory firm Quantuma were appointed joint administrators over Fairoak Foods Ltd, a premium private-label food manufacturer based in Woking, Surrey, on 25 March 2026. The Company continues to trade under the control of the administrators whilst a buyer is sought for the business and assets.
Established in 2011, Fairoak Foods is a manufacturer of high-quality chef led food ranging from vegan soups to pasta and stews, specialising in premium small batch cooking. The company services both premium retail and premium food customers, working in close partnership with leading retailers, brands, and food service operators. Its end-to-end capabilities include product development, sourcing, manufacturing and supply chain management. The Company takes a chef-driven approach to innovation, ensuring restaurant-quality food is delivered at scale and employs around 60 staff. No staff have been made redundant.
Commenting on this appointment, joint administrator Kelly Mitchell said: “Fairoak Foods is recognised as premium private-label manufacturer of high-quality, chef-led food and should attract significant interest, despite having to cease to trade, due to the company’s cashflow issues. The Company has an experienced management team with deep sector knowledge and strong customer relationships.
We are therefore pleased to offer for sale the business and assets of Fairoak Foods Limited, including a fully fitted and equipped factory extending to c.6,700 sq ft, with a modern range of machinery and equipment. The company partners with leading retailers and brands to deliver restaurant-quality products at scale. The business therefore represents an attractive opportunity to acquire an established manufacturing facility with strong industry relationships.”
