Deltic files for administration

Nightclub operator Deltic has filed a notice to appoint administrators. The group, which owns late-night brands including Pryzm and Bar and Beyond, announced its intention to sell in October, but has been as yet unable to secure a buyer. Over the last few weeks, private equity firms Greybull Capital and Aurelius emerged as interested parties in the group, but Scandinavia bar operator Rekom Group has since come to the fore as the preferred bidder to buy Deltic through a pre-pack administration. It’s understood that any deal could see the permanent closure of some of its 52 sites.
