receive nothing despite administrators securing a \u00a3100,000 settlement with a connected business.<\/p>\n<p>Vogue Beds Limited, based at Kingsfield House, Arthur Street, Barwell, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebusinessdesk.com\/eastmidlands\/news\/2096639-bed-and-mattress-supplier-files-for-administration\">entered administration on April 1, 2025<\/a>, with Christopher Brooksbank of CB Business Recovery appointed as administrator.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s latest progress report, covering the six months to September 30, 2026, reveals that unsecured creditors are owed more than \u00a31.28m, including liabilities to employees and HMRC.<\/p>\n<p>The administrator said there would be insufficient funds to make a distribution to unsecured creditors, with the business expected to move into dissolution once the administration is concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The report reveals that investigations into transactions involving connected company Vogue Group Holdings Limited have resulted in a settlement agreement worth \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n<p>The investigations concerned transfers of company assets and payments to the connected business.<\/p>\n<p>Following correspondence with the company&#8217;s director and legal advisers, an offer of \u00a3100,000 was made in full and final settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The administrator said the settlement also took account of payments made by Vogue Group Holdings to discharge the company&#8217;s liabilities and the amount needed to secure vacant possession of its former premises.<\/p>\n<p>Under the agreement, \u00a335,000 was due on October 30, with further instalments of \u00a313,000 payable monthly until April 2027.<\/p>\n<p>At the date of the report, \u00a348,000 had been received.<\/p>\n<p>The administrator confirmed that investigations into the company&#8217;s affairs had now concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Vogue Beds had a claim of \u00a359,833 from National Westminster Bank relating to a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme facility.<\/p>\n<p>The report states that no secured creditor claims have been received.<\/p>\n<p>Former employees are owed an estimated \u00a347,890 in preferential claims, which the administrator expects to pay.<\/p>\n<p>However, HMRC is owed an estimated \u00a3180,605 as a secondary preferential creditor, with no distribution expected.<\/p>\n<p>The administrator said: &#8220;Based on current information, there will be no distribution to the Company&#8217;s secondary preferential creditors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s statement of affairs lists unsecured liabilities of \u00a31,283,332.99, including amounts owed to trade creditors, employees and Vogue Group Holdings.<\/p>\n<p>The report adds: &#8220;Based on current information, it is estimated that there will not be sufficient realisations to enable a distribution to unsecured creditors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Administration costs have continued to mount, with the administrator recording time costs of \u00a376,647.50 during the latest six-month period.<\/p>\n<p>Total time costs since the appointment have reached \u00a3158,692.50, exceeding the previously approved remuneration estimate of \u00a3118,307.50.<\/p>\n<p>The administrator said a revised fee estimate would be provided to creditors.<\/p>\n<p>The administration is expected to conclude by March 30, 2027, after which Vogue Beds Limited is expected to be dissolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Administrators have agreed a settlement with a connected company but unsecured creditors lose
