Anyone who is owed money by a long-running restaurant which closed its doors at the end of last year has been invited to a creditors’ meeting.
James Richard Pirie and Alan John Roberts of Grant Thornton Advisors Limited have been nominated as joint liquidators of Drifters.
At a meeting at Grant Thornton Advisors at Kensington Chambers on 3 February at 10.15am, creditors will be asked to approve the nominated liquidators.
A statement as to the company’s affairs will also be laid before creditors, according to a Gazette notice.
Drifters first opened in 2016 at Havre des Pas, before moving into the former Jade Garden premises in Gorey Village in 2021.
The restaurant moved to the Weighbridge, next to the Troubadour Pub, in 2024.
The family-run restaurant announced that it was closing its doors after a decade of trading following a “difficult” autumn and winter period at the end of December.
In a post on social media, the owners said: “It is with very deep regret that the directors of Drifters 2024 Limited have to announce that, after a difficult trading environment during the autumn and December periods, we have made the sad but necessary decision to cease trading with immediate effect and place the company into a formal, voluntary creditors winding up process. Grant Thornton are being engaged to assist with this process.
“We can only provide our loyal followers with our heartfelt thanks for your kindness and support during our trading endeavours and to say how dreadfully sorry we are that we cannot be there for you in the future. We wish you all the very best for the new year.”
