Financial and tax advisory services in sale of Fuel10K to Premier Foods

Premier Foods plc, one of the UK’s largest food producers of some of the UK’s most well-known food brands, has acquired Fuel10K, a protein enriched breakfast brand with a portfolio of granola, oats and drinks products.

The £34 million deal represents a significant increase in Premier Food’s presence in the breakfast foods space, building on the success of Ambrosia porridge pots, and it expects the acquisition to deliver significant future growth. Furthermore, Fuel10K’s commitment to sustainability will further Premier Food’s wider purpose of “Enriching Life Through Food”.
