As part of hospitality group Go To Collection, the Madam Woo restaurant chain, founded by celebrity chef Josh Emett and restaurateur Fleur Caulton, has been put into voluntary administration.
Malcolm Hollis and John Fisk of PwC were appointed administrators by the company’s directors on Thursday, PwC said in a statement.
The hospitality group operates the Rata, Madam Woo and Hawker & Roll restaurants in Queenstown, Auckland, Hamilton, and Tauranga and employs more than 100 staff. Hollis said the administrators were working closely with the company’s directors, shareholders, and management to see if the business could be restructured and saved.
Hollis explained that the best performing restaurants would continue to provide high quality services while the less popular sites would be closed.
