Bad Shepherd Brewing Co. - Case Update

The creditors of Bad Shepherd Brewing Co., a Cheltenham-based craft brewery, have approved a DOCA proposal that will see control of the company returned to owners Dereck and Diti Hales and their management. The company entered administration on 10 October, stating that legacy COVID debt, the softening market and the cost of living crisis had caused financial issues for what would otherwise be a profitable business. The owners worked with Atle Crowe-Maxwell of DBA Advisory to develop the DOCA, which financially restructures the business to ensure a stronger and more resilient operation going forward.
