Law firm Walker Morris, which advised on the transaction, said Yorkshire Game services “a broad customer base including supermarkets, wholesalers, butchers and foodservice companies and counts Marks & Spencer amongst its customers”.

The experience and industry knowledge that David and Adrian are able to bring to the company will help to reinforce its specialist expertise and strategic direction.”
