Interpath secures sale of Julienne Bruno assets following administration

Interpath Advisory has helped sell the assets of Julienne Bruno, a manufacturer and retailer of plant-based cheese and cream products, to a subsidiary of The Compleat Food Group, safeguarding the brand. 

Sam Birchall and Howard Smith from the firm were appointed joint administrators to Julienne Bruno Limited on 11 November 2025.

Julienne Bruno supplies high-quality plant-based cheese and cream products to a number of end-customers, including retailers, wholesalers and restaurants. It had grown “significantly” since its formation in 2020.

With additional investment required to reach “sufficient scale to enable profitability”, it recently started exploring available sale and investment options. 

Unfortunately, despite a competitive process with a number of parties showing interest, a solvent outcome could not be found, and as a result it was placed into administration. Consequently, all 14 members of staff have been made redundant.

Immediately following their appointment, the joint administrators sold certain assets including the Julienne Bruno brand, to Harvey and Brockless Limited, a subsidiary of The Compleat Food Group.

Tom Swiers, head of food and drink for Interpath, said: “Since its launch, Julienne Bruno had developed a great reputation for its innovative and high-quality plant-based products. Known as a pioneer within the sector, it had generated a loyal customer base both in the UK and internationally. We’re pleased to have achieved this sale which will enable the brand to continue under new ownership and deliver to its customers.”

Howard Smith, managing director at Interpath and joint administrator, added: “Our immediate priority is to support those employees who have been made redundant, including supporting them with claims for redundancy pay and other monies owed.”
