Bakkavor the next target: inside source
An inside source at 2 Sisters claimed that Bakkavor was the next target for 2 Sisters and that financial representatives were attempting to forge a sale of some or all of the chilled food firm’s facilities, In June.
FoodManufacture.co.uk understood that no direct approach had been made by either company and that Bakkavor was averse to any deals.
However, the source said 2 Sisters’ founder, owner and ceo Ranjit Boparan “would love to get his hands on Bakkavor” and that intermediaries in the city had been “trying to form a deal”.
A 2 Sisters spokesman told FoodManufacture.co.uk that it was “our policy not to comment on rumour and speculation”.
A Bakkavor spokesman responded similarly: “We don’t comment on market speculation.”
