A Midlands-based distributor of Pukka Pies is shutting down after opting for voluntary liquidation.

G.M. Jones & Son Ltd, established in 1989, operates as an independent supplier focused on the fast-food sector across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, and Shropshire regions.

The firm is among a limited number of outlets offering Pukka Pies merchandise in fresh, frozen, and unbaked varieties.

According to its website, G.M. Jones & Son Ltd promotes competitive pricing paired with reliable service.

After nearly three decades of trading, G.M. Jones & Son Ltd is closing its doors following voluntary liquidation.

Despite the company stating on its website that it had experienced consistent year-on-year sales growth, the decision was made to enter liquidation.

Timothy Frank Corfield from Griffin & King was named liquidator on Monday (April 20), as documented in The Gazette.

No disruption to Pukka Pies supply expected

Following the announcement of G.M. Jones & Son Ltd’s liquidation, Pukka Pies has informed customers that product supply remains unaffected.

A Pukka Pies representative, speaking to The Sun, stated that G.M. Jones represents just one of numerous Pukka Pies suppliers.

The company sought to assure customers that Pukka product availability remains unchanged.

As a long-standing wholesale partner and fellow family business, it is regrettable to witness such challenges in today’s competitive marketplace, the spokesperson noted.

The pie company has collaborated with retailers to ensure seamless transitions to alternative suppliers, guaranteeing continued access to Pukka products nationwide.
