## From the administrators' statement

The Company is a leading UK-based manufacturer and distributor of bakery goods, with a heritage dating back to its founding in 1887 by Robert Roberts, who opened his first shop in Northwich, Cheshire. Over the course of 138 years, the Company has grown from a small grocer and bakery into one of the UK’s foremost bakeries, renowned for its high-quality bread, morning goods, and sweet treats.

The Company operates two main trading divisions: Breads and Biscuits. Up until recently the Company had also operated a Speciality Breads business - however this was sold in September 2025.

The business remains rooted in Cheshire, operating its Breads division primarily from its Northwich freehold site, where it produces a wide range of branded and private label loaves, morning goods, and specialty breads, with a weekly production capacity of around 2.1m loaves and 1.8m morning goods.
