Former Pumpkin Patch workers have voted in a liquidator for Pumpkin Patch after seeing no other way forward.
In a watershed meeting last week, head office and distribution workers and ANZ bank voted in administrators McGrathNicol to liquidate Pumpkin Patch Limited.
About 150 former Pumpkin Patch head office and distribution workers had voted against ANZ’s preferred liquidator and appealed to the bank to release money needed to pay their redundancy entitlements.
Head office and distribution staff redundancies are capped at $22,160 per employee under the Companies Act 1993. The workers are owed about $2.7 million in total.

Pizza firm Hell Pizza has put the brakes on a plan to serve up fried crickets as one of its toppings, after customers turned their noses up at the idea.
The company posted pictures on social media of crunchy, edible insects sitting perkily on top of the popular snack to test customer reaction.
But customers were not won over by the idea of a creepy crawly protein hit, and so Hell has exterminated the idea – for now.
Hell Pizza’s director Callum Davies thinks New Zealanders aren’t ready to have critters in their food yet.
