The School Lunch Collective – Libelle Group Update

While this is a difficult situation for Libelle and its team, our priority remains ensuring that 120,000 students continue to receive nutritious meals every school day through the Ka Ora, Ka Ako Healthy School Lunches programme.

Deloitte, as liquidator, has asked Compass Group New Zealand to help manage the transition and ensure stability while exploring options for Libelle’s future. To minimise disruption, Compass Group New Zealand has taken immediate steps to support Libelle, including ensuring staff wages are paid and keeping kitchen facilities running.

We recognise the vital role that Libelle’s staff and partners play in delivering school lunches, and we are committed to ensuring the future of Libelle as part of the programme and supporting its people through this process.
