“Same time next year, then?” Spring Gully make date to catch up with administrators again next November

The new owners of Spring Gully Foods have vowed to not forget about the South Australians who were there for the brand through the tough times, by making a date to catch up again with the chartered accountants who steered the company through its most recent dalliance with administration.

News of Spring Gully’s new ownership has been celebrated throughout the state, as it joins the esteemed ranks of South Australian brands who moved the entirety of their production, ownership and workforce interstate. However, despite the complete un-South Australianing of the brand, the new owners point out that Spring Gully’s “IP” will remain, which really is the most important part about eating pickles.

“We were very steadfast about how important the IP is,” says Spring Gully’s new Head of Jarring, Pickling and Relocating to New South Wales, Maureen Brinestone. “We got everything else sorted, the pickling, the packaging, the logistics. But it was the Spring Gullly IP we were most interested in. Mainly the part about them falling into administration.

“In fact, we already have plans for the Spring Gully brand to be in the hands of administrators by next November. We’re also looking at February 2027, March 2027 and late-March 2027 to really get South Australians buying up the product.”
