He said, "I'm delighted that we have been able to secure a sale of the business, enable the transfer of all employees and preserve the continuity of supply to customers in the run up to Christmas."
In a statement on the matter, Young's chief executive, Leendert den Hollander, said, "This is the beginning of a process and the teams involved will work hard to understand the business and consider in detail how best to take the customer contracts forward.
"Our focus is on customers – on fulfilling their contracts – and consulting with new employees on possible options for the future."
