The Administrators again wish to record their sincere appreciation for the commitment and loyalty shown by the Postie Plus management team and retail staff over the last six weeks, the patience and forbearance that has been shown by the Company’s creditors, and the ongoing support of its many customers. This has enabled a better outcome to be achieved for creditors than would have occurred had the Company been placed in receivership.” Mr Bridgman added: “The ability to conclude a sale of the Postie Plus business as a going concern was materially assisted by using the Voluntary Administration regime, given the moratorium on creditor claims and the ability to transfer leases on terms satisfactory to the purchaser. The Administrators will now attend to post completion matters, including the calling of the Watershed Meeting for creditors as required under the rules governing Voluntary Administrations.

“Many of the Postie Plus suppliers will be able to continue trading with Postie Plus under its new ownership with all of the Postie Plus Auckland-based head office staff and the majority of its retail staff offered employment with the new owner.”
