A premium food delivery business co-established by television presenter Myleene Klass has ceased trading after entering administration.
Company Background and Collapse
My Supper Hero, which was launched in 2021 by Myleene Klass and Jamie Barber, has stopped operations following financial difficulties. The company specialized in delivering high-end meal kits designed for home preparation and dining.
Administrators from Begbies Traynor have been appointed to oversee the winding down of the business. The company’s website is no longer accepting orders, and its social media accounts have been inactive since May.
Founders and Business Model
Myleene Klass, known for her work as a musician and broadcaster, co-founded the venture alongside Jamie Barber, a restaurateur. The service offered customers the opportunity to order premium meal kits, which included pre-portioned ingredients and instructions for assembling restaurant-quality dishes at home.
My Supper Hero aimed to provide a luxury alternative to standard meal delivery services, focusing on quality ingredients and chef-designed recipes.
Financial Challenges and Administration
The company faced increasing financial pressures, which ultimately led to its collapse. Rising costs and changing consumer habits were cited as contributing factors. Begbies Traynor confirmed their appointment as administrators and are now managing the company’s remaining affairs.
Customer Impact and Future Prospects
Customers who had placed orders prior to the administration have been advised that the company is no longer able to fulfill deliveries. It is not yet clear whether any refunds will be issued. The administrators are currently assessing the company’s assets and liabilities.
Industry Context
The closure of My Supper Hero comes amid a challenging period for the food delivery sector, with several businesses facing similar difficulties due to economic pressures and evolving market conditions.
