Boparan Holdings bought Fox’s in 2011 as part of its purchase of UK food group Northern Foods. The biscuit maker was the subject of media speculation last year, with reports circulating that Boparan was said to be orchestrating an acquisition of the UK’s Burton’s Biscuit Co., a deal some reports have suggested may still be on the cards.
Business tycoon Ranjit Singh Boparan owns the investment firm and also poultry processor 2 Sisters Food Group. Last month, Boparan sold a handful of pizza assets to Nomad Foods, including the Goodfella’s and San Marco brands.
Fox’s general manager Stephen Mulligan said: “We are really pleased to announce these new roles. Fox’s Biscuits are very proud of our heritage in Batley and to be able to play such a key part in the local community.”
