- J’s Cycle Shack appointed administrators after 12 years.

## Summary

The producer of Malibu suncream has entered administration following a fire at its warehouse, but a rescue deal has transferred the business’s goodwill to a new company run by its director. The news comes as a Norfolk travel agency has ceased trading and a cycling retailer has also appointed administrators, highlighting recent difficulties for several UK businesses.

Malibu’s manufacturer had traded profitably for 27 years and entered administration on 15 October; all nine head-office staff are moving to the new enterprise, while around 30 manufacturing jobs at a separate group company are unaffected. The fire on 11 August damaged stock, raw materials and specialist machinery. Wroxham Travel stopped trading on 30 October 2026, and ABTA advises customers to contact the tour operator or principal business named in their booking documents. J’s Cycle Shack, which had shops in Wakefield and Epworth and an online store, entered administration after 12 years.
