Our corporate team has advised the shareholders of a third-generation Yorkshire food manufacturer on its sale to a mid-market private equity investor.
Ashworth Kell has advised the shareholders of a third-generation, family-owned food manufacturer on the sale of the business to a mid-market private equity investor at an enterprise value of £86m.
The team, led by managing partner James Whitaker with associate Lucy Atkinson, prepared the business for sale over eighteen months and ran a competitive process that completed fourteen weeks after exclusivity was granted.
The family wanted a buyer who would keep the brand and the workforce. We found one and protected both in the documents.
Banking, employment and real estate specialists from across the firm supported the transaction.
