A fast food chain have cut 244 jobs after collapsing into administration last December.
The chain, which was forced to close 22 locations following their collapse, had major losses throughout 2023, 2024, and 2025.
In 2023 they had losses of £12.5m, £8.3m in 2024, and almost £10m on draft figures for 2025.
The chain, Leon, had built their reputation on natural fast-casual food but had struggled since being sold to Asda's owner in 2021.
Leon's co-founder, John Vincent, bought the business back from Asda in October last year.
Mr Vincent said that 'increasingly unsustainable taxes' were part of the reason for Leon's fall, though he also said they had moved 'away from their core values'.
He said: “In the last two years, Asda had bigger fish to fry, and Leon was always a business they didn’t feel fitted their strategy."
He said that he hopes Leon will be able to provide 'jobs to many more people once we have returned to profitability and can continue to grow again'.
Administrators have proposed a company voluntary agreement (CVA) which is a way of restructuring a business so that they can continue trading by negotiating their debts.
