Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares as court threatens to close his companies
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is facing further anguish as two of his companies have been given just weeks to settle their accounts or they could be put into receivership, according to reports.
Ramsay, 43, saw four of his companies taken to court today and facing the possibility of winding-up petitions from the UK’s Inland Revenue & Customs.
Two of the petitions have reportedly been adjourned to give Ramsay more time to settle their undisclosed debts.
One of the companies, Gordon Ramsay Plane Food, which operates Ramsay’s restaurant at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 in London, has been given 14 days’ grace to allow a cheque to clear, while another of his companies, Gordon Ramsay Maze Ltd, has been told it has 63 days to pay its debts.
The remaining two petitions – against Gordon Ramsay Narrow Street Ltd and Gordon Ramsay Hospital Road – have been dismissed by the court.
The court could close the businesses and sell off any assets, as well as put them into receivership, if Ramsay fails to settle their debts.
