Chef Oliver's UK restaurant business enters admin, threatening 1000 jobs

British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's UK restaurant business went into administration on Tuesday, his company said, threatening over 1,000 jobs. KPMG have been appointed as administrators of the UK-based restaurant business, but the international restaurant franchise business and his Fifteen Cornwall brand would be unaffected, the Jamie Oliver Group said in a statement.

"I am deeply saddened by this outcome and would like to thank all of the staff and our suppliers who have put their hearts and souls into this business for over a decade," Jamie Oliver said in a statement.
