In the financial year ended 31 March 2017, Haydens generated GBP31.3m of revenues and was break-even at the operating profit level.
Total consideration is GBP12m, subject to adjustment in relation to levels of working capital and net debt. This comprises GBP9.6m in cash and GBP2.4m of existing finance leases.

It is a business which shares Bakkavor's passion for providing outstanding service, quality and value to its customers and has a reputation for supplying some of the best tasting sweet treats to the UK's leading retailers. This acquisition will grow both our capacity and product offering in the Desserts category, and we are delighted to be welcoming Haydens' management and the wider team to our business."
