Coughlans Bakery has shut all 32 shops in South London. The long-standing chain folded on Tuesday after liquidation. Surging bills and debts made trading impossible for this decades-old business. Romesh Ranganathan, the comedian who part-owns it, called the news heartbreaking. Workers now face job losses as the bakeries close without delay. The British Baker said the collapse reflects the original empire’s size. A well-known local name has vanished from the high street. No revival talks are happening at present.
