Experts from Harrison Drury have advised a Preston chicken processing company on a partnership with a local meat and poultry business.
The Champ Chicken Company Ltd, based at Longton, near Preston, has entered into a joint venture with Hen House (Wholesale) Ltd, a wholesale supplier of meat and poultry products.
The deal has seen former owners of Champ Chicken, John Singleton and Alan Orritt, pass the business to the next generation of their families, Nicola Singleton and Terence Orritt, who will remain directors of the business following the merger.
Peter Rayton, chairman, and Andrew McLaughlan, financial controller at Hen House, founded in 1990, say the joint venture partnership will significantly enhance the capabilities of both companies and will offer exciting new market opportunities.
David Filmer, associate at Harrison Drury Solicitors, advised the owners of Champ Chicken, which has 33 employees, on the joint venture.
David said: “John and Alan wanted to hand the company to the next generation of their families, and the potential of a successful partnership with another local poultry company provided an ideal opportunity to do this. This joint venture gives Champ Chicken access to further opportunities for growth and development as part of the Hen House business.”
