Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s television production company has collapsed, leaving behind millions of pounds of debts.
The River Cottage chef co-founded the award-winning KEO Films in 1995, which has made popular programmes such as Hugh’s War on Waste and Easy Ways to Live Well. The company describes itself as having a “strong ethical brand reputation” and has produced a series of programmes campaigning for social change.
