The crunch has come for Byron Bay’s iconic Cookie Company, which has been placed into voluntary administration after part of its manufacturing division was issued with a court notice over an unpaid tax bill.
The announcement was made late yesterday afternoon and a creditors’ meeting has been scheduled for later this month.
Administrators have confirmed they intend to continue operating the business as normal.
Can somebody please support the employees who have been made redundant with no notice in the past few days. 15 employees who had worked at the company for over 10 years have been let go. The company has not paid superannuation for 2 – 3 years. Owner Gordon slater has no idea how to run a business, but merely enjoyed and lapped up the social life being a business owner entails. Jobs are difficult to replace in the northern rivers and this situation is heart wrenching for the families involved. This company has lost some of its mos valuable, crucial employees all because they were permanent not casual employees. This is a joke
go after him
