Mon, 12 Apr 2010 | ADMINISTRATION
Leeds-based online wine business Mardenis Ltd has entered administration after the director signed a notice of intention to appoint Armstrong Watson as administrators, as of 26 March.
Mardenis Ltd, which operates Surpluswine.co.uk, provided substantial savings on fine wines and champagnes.
The director, Dennis LeFrancq, is not currently operating Mardenis Ltd as a result of running into financial difficulties, according to reports. This came as a surprise in light of Mardenis' balance sheet filing that shows the firm closed last year with profits of £1.7 million, up from just £7,000 the year before.
The administrators say they will now examine the firm's accounts.
LeFrancq is now thought to be out of the country, while angry customers of the wine retailer claim they have paid up to £30,000 for wines and champagnes that have not been delivered. He is also thought to owe some £30,000 in rent on his Leeds city centre restaurant.
A message on the Surpluswine.co.uk website says that "due to the response to our sale we are currently revising our inventory and with new stock arriving soon, we will shortly be updating our price list."
