A UK food transport company has plunged into administration after just three years in business. During its short life, it referred to itself on social media as the “best in class tracking and routing software”. Also, a “leading food distributor across the UK.”
Based in Tonbridge, Kent, the company took pride in its facilities designed exclusively for “temperature-sensitive goods,” its website states. It also claimed to be committed to “providing a cost-effective, highly efficient service” that allowed them to meet their customer’s individual needs.
BMB Logistics entered administration on June 12, 2026. Steve Kenny and Richard Cole of KBL Advisory were appointed as joint administrators. While no reason for the administration has yet been disclosed by the appointed administrators, Companies House records show BMB Logistics had overdue accounts at the time of its administration. The company, which was incorporated in January 2022, had not filed accounts due by 30 April 2026.
The company still has a colourful Instagram and claims to be a proud sponsor of the Larkfield Under 7s. Their account, which was created in 2022, has 59 posts and 157 followers. However, according to Google, BMB Logistics has just one review. The one-star review reads: “Got threatened by someone in here for parking, rather than helping me and telling me where I could park, just got told ‘I don’t care, move your car or I’ll clamp it.’”
It comes after a UK furniture retailer plunged into administration after facing tough trading conditions over the years. Airsprung, which makes mattresses and beds for major retailers, has been in the business for 150 years.
Based in Canal Road, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, the company has faced mounting cashflow pressures in the past few months. In an effort to address these issues, Airsprung explored potential investment opportunities and possible offers for the business. However, due to the company’s financial position and the nature and level of interest received, the directors ultimately had no option but to place the company into administration.
Of its 202 employees, 71 were made redundant upon appointment, while those remaining were retained to assist with the business’s ongoing operations. The company has also produced beds for hotels and filling for sports stadium seating under brands Gainsborough and Airofreem.
On May 1, Edward Williams and Ross Connock, of PwC, were appointed joint administrators of Airsprung Group PLC and Airsprung Furniture Limited.
Mr Williams said: “It’s very sad that this well-known business with 150 years of history and iconic brands within the mattress and bed industry has had to go into administration. We know that this is an unsettling time for everyone impacted, and we will support employees through the redundancy process.”
