Sale of Elkes Biscuits

We are very pleased to announce that Elkes Biscuits in Uttoxeter has been sold to the Boparan Private Office (BPO).

This sale ends a period of uncertainty for the site after the consultation with colleagues at the end of last year about a proposed closure of the factory. We were always clear that we were looking to find a purchaser of the business as an alternative to closure, so it is very satisfying to successfully complete this transaction.

This is good news for the business and the town, securing the immediate future of the site and keeping alive the 100-year biscuit-making heritage in Uttoxeter.
