Roberts Bakery saved from collapse with £20M rescue by Boparan group, preserving 433 jobs.
Roberts Bakery in Northwich has avoided collapse after securing a rescue deal with Boparan Private Office, led by billionaire Ranjit Boparan, preserving 433 jobs and saving the 138-year-old business from administration.
The company, formerly Frank Roberts & Sons Limited, will rebrand as Roberts Bakery 1887 Ltd under new ownership, maintaining its legacy and operations.
The investment follows financial struggles, including the closure of its Ilkeston plant and job cuts totaling 250 since July.
BPO, with experience in food processing, will support existing management while adding new talent to ensure long-term stability.
The Roberts family expressed relief at the outcome, acknowledging their exit from ownership.
The deal is expected to secure the bakery’s future and sustain its role in the local community.
