Roberts Bakery Saved, Over 400 Jobs Secured
Roberts Bakery's parent company, Frank Roberts & Sons Limited, has been saved by Boparan Private Office, owned by entrepreneur Ranjit Singh Boparan.
The investment has resulted in the creation of a new company, Roberts Bakery 1887 Ltd, securing 433 jobs at the historic bakery business.
Roberts Bakery 1887 Ltd will benefit from the backing and expertise of Boparan Private Office, a strong and diverse enterprise with established interests in the bakery sector.
