Mon, 07 Nov 2011 | BUSINESS SALE
Organic babyfood maker Ella’s Kitchen has been looking to bring on board a financial adviser to explore options including a sale.
A few sources have said boutique advisory firm Stamford Partners has already been hired. It is thought the business could be worth £50 million in a sale. Options that may be mulled over include an outright sale or private equity investment.
Paul Lindley founded the business in 2006 as he wanted to give his daughter wholesome foods. Ella’s Kitchen is named after her. Its products - made for babies and toddlers - are sold worldwide and include baby breakfasts, rice and pasta, cooking sauces, snacks and cookies.
Ella’s Kitchen won the international business of the year category at the Fast Growing Business Awards last month. It has won several other awards including the customer focus prize at the 2010 National Business Awards and the dynamic business of the year at the Thames Valley Business Awards last year.
“Our focus is to grow Ella’s Kitchen into the first global brand of premium food for pre-school children,” a company spokesman said. “We are constantly approached by all sorts of partners who think they could help us achieve this goal.”
