Separately, Signature Living Preston Limited, the company that runs The Shankly Hotel in Preston has also entered administration.
Matthew Ingram and Michael Vincent Lennon of Kroll Advisory have been appointed to oversee the administration process.

Alma De Cuba is a restaurant, bar as well as private hire and events venue based in the grade II-listed former St Peters Church in Seel Street.
It was acquired by Signature Living for £3.1m in 2017 to become one of its 60 entities that trade as hospitality, hotel and residential property operators and developers.
