FRP advises on sale of Delenco Foods to Red Sky Food Group

FRP Corporate Finance has advised on the sale of Delenco Foods, the family-owned sausage manufacturer based in Leyton, to Red Sky Food Group, a private equity-backed food producer.

Founded in 1963, Delenco Foods is a third-generation business employing 76 staff. It supplies sausages to hospitality and leisure operators including restaurants, hotels and cruise lines, using meat sourced from farms in the UK and EU.

Meanwhile, Red Sky Food Group was established earlier this year with backing from private equity investor Literacy Capital. The acquisition follows its purchase of Welsh meat manufacturer Langford’s.

FRP Corporate Finance acted as sell-side adviser, with a team led by partner Chris Adlam and director Matt Field. 

The firm supported negotiations, coordinated due diligence and developed the financial model for the transaction.

Adlam said: “This transaction reflects the continued market demand for well-run, high-quality food manufacturing businesses, and is a testament to the strong reputation that Delenco Foods has built up over the past six decades.”
