‘A dozen bidders’ circle Burton’s Biscuits

AROUND 12 bidders are understood to have tabled offers for Burton's Biscuits, the manufacturer of Wagon Wheels, Maryland Cookies and Jammie Dodgers.

The business has been put up for sale for around £350m by its owners, Duke Street Capital, Apollo Global Management and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The Hertfordshire-based group employs 600 people at a factory in Blackpool and 80 at a chocolate refining plant at Moreton on the Wirral. It closed a biscuit factory at the site two years ago.
