A long-established food producer has entered administration.
London-based Opus Restructuring have been instructed to oversee the process for Spalding business Geo Adams & Sons.
The popular business had been running since 1910 when George Adams established his butcher’s shop in The Crescent, with his pork pies quickly gaining wider recognition.

In 1957 a factory was built behind the shop, with the company turning its attention to production for supermarkets by the 1970s.
In March 2023, Geo Adams announced it was closing its popular butcher’s shop – which had gained a reputation for quality meat products and award-winning flavoured sausages, including the ultra-hot Reaper – after 113 years.
Owners Steve Hall, Anthony Burfield and Stephen Bollard, who took over the company in 2021, said this move was made to focus solely on the manufacturing of artisan pies and pastry products after seeing a boost in that side of the business.
Geo Adams & Sons and Opus Restructuring have been approached for comment.
