Iconic Stockport hotel falls into administration

Stockport’s Bredbury Hall has fallen into administration with the loss of 90 jobs.

Bredbury Hall has long been an iconic and important part of the local landscape; since the late 70’s and early 80’s it has been a favourite with residents and visitors who enjoyed the nightclub and casino.

Administrators at business advisory firm FRP said it had experienced trading difficulties before closing that had resulted in increased creditor arrears and financial pressure.

Following the announcement, a number of comments were posted on social media including from Hayley Ann who is now looking for a new venue for her wedding. Hayley Ann posted:

I’m one of the unlucky ones that lost their wedding with Bredbury hall closing down. It’s doesn’t look like we will get money back due to the small print of “government legislation”. After some ideas for a very strict budget wedding….obviously somewhere that I won’t look out of place in a “wedding dress” as I am wearing it! Within 30 miles of Stockport. Has anyone seen any offers?

The venue was previously bought out of administration in 2015 by Bangladesh businessman Golam Sarwar, co-director of Newco Ventures Ltd, and underwent an extensive refurbishment.
