Wholesale bakery with freehold production site in Belfast

About this business

A wholesale bakery on a Belfast industrial estate producing bread, rolls, morning goods and traybakes for grocers, convenience chains, caterers and sandwich makers across Northern Ireland. The freehold site comes with the business, along with the plant inside it, and 90 staff work shifts in production, packing, despatch and delivery. Sales have been flat at about £8.7m since 2021, but EBITDA has climbed every year to £1.03m. A buyer takes on a large, steady operation with its own property and the chance to grow volume through new accounts.
