Fox's Sports Biscuits 200 g (Pack of 12)

Product Information

The latest auction had been taking place as 2 Sisters's parent Boparan Holdings looked to reduce its large debt pile. Only Fox's branded biscuit business is expected to be included in the deal, and not Fox's own-label products. If agreed, Ferrero would take charge of around 1,500 Fox's Biscuits employees. As part of the integration, the FBC Leadership Team will now be undertaking a strategic review which will determine the details behind the transition. The company was founded in 1853 in a terraced house, 17 Whitaker Street, in Batley in West Yorkshire by Michael Spedding, who worked from his small bakehouse making "eatables" to sell at feasts and fairs held throughout the north of England. His daughter Hannah provided the name for the company when she married Fred Ellis Fox in the late 1800s. [1] [2] The house in Whitaker Street still stands.

Commenting on the merger, Browne said: “ After many years of looking at one another, we are excited about bringing together two businesses that share the same passion for crafting British biscuits with care, quality and innovation.’’ ​ Ranjit Singh, President of Boparan Holdings Ltd, said: “We are pleased this transaction proceeded smoothly and completed as we expected. It is another significant deal,with good enterprise value, underlining our commitment to transforming our business.” Rivals Burton's Biscuits, which owns the Jammie Dodgers brand, and Biscuit International, one of Europe's largest makers of private label biscuits, had also expressed an interest in Fox's Biscuits.

Zo werken we samen in de toekomst: nooit meer aanwezig bij meetings

We have listened to many interested parties over the years, but we have always been clear that Fox’s would only be sold to the right new home, at the right time and for the right value. This sale represents another significant deal for us, underlining our commitment to our business turnaround.

We believe the sale to Ferrero is not only beneficial for 2 Sisters Food Group, but it means a positive future for the Fox’s brand with an owner who has a compatible culture and a global reputation for high-quality branded chocolate and biscuit products.” Ayisha Koyenikan, food and drink analyst at the research group Mintel, said Ferrero could use Burton’s as a launchpad for its Nutella brand biscuits in the UK. The biscuits launched in Italy in 2019. “Nutella biscuits have the potential to really shake up the landscape. Ferrero has recently doubled production to increase sales abroad, and so it remains to be seen if a UK launch would be facilitated with imported products or if one of the newly acquired UK factories would be adapted for domestic production,” she said. Bankers Rothschild & Co - previously named as advisers to the auction of Fox’s last year - acted as sole financial adviser to 2 Sisters on the disposal. Ranjit Singh, President of Boparan Holdings Ltd, said: “Fox’s Biscuits has always been an attractive brand and as one of only two major independent biscuit makers in the UK, it is a prized asset in this market. Ferrero Group claims to be the world’s third largest chocolate and confectionery business which has diversified into new sectors as it expands its global portfolio. Ferrero and its related company represents now the second player in worldwide sweet biscuits market.The deal, which will be completed this month, reportedly makes Ferrero Group the second largest chocolate and confectionery business in the worldwide sweet biscuit market, having made another similar acquisition in Europe earlier this year.
