KITCHEN CLOSED
A Presbyterian Church-run hospitality company that provided meals to the aged and hotel industry across Queensland has gone belly up.
Contented Chef, owned by troubled aged care operator PresCare, was put into liquidation earlier this week adding to the financial woes of the church's various businesses.
Contented Chef was a commercial kitchen cooking meals and ingredients for aged care homes, hotels, restaurants and convenience stores. Peter Lucas, of PA Lucas & Co, has been appointed to wind up the firm, which was established in 2015.
Contented Chef is a subsidiary of PresCare's Credere Services Group, which in 2019 reported net liabilities of $24 million. Credere also sells mobility equipment and monitoring systems for aged care patients.
