Henry Nuttall Ltd, a UK-based fish and chip equipment manufacturer founded in 1865, was rescued after entering administration in February 2026. The Sheffield-based company, known as the world’s "Original Frying Range manufacturer," was acquired by the RGM Leeds Group, ensuring continued operations with no changes to staff, products, or service. The deal provides long-term investment while maintaining the brand’s independence. The rescue comes amid a challenging period for the UK high street, with several retailers and travel firms closing, though some chains like Aldi, M&S, Superdrug, and Lidl have announced new store openings.
