Endless acquires poultry provider, Smithfield Murray
30 March, 2023
The acquisition of Smithfield Murray, a poultry processor, has been announced by the UK private equity firm, Endless. Smithfield, which was established in 1987, supplies prepared raw poultry products to manufacturers that subsequently distribute them to retail and foodservice channels. The acquisition will merge Smithfield with Yorkshire Premier Meat, Endless's other meat processor, resulting in a significant player in the UK's business-to-business protein supply. Damien Murray and Martin Grady, the founding shareholders, and the current management team will continue to manage the business, according to the Leeds-based private equity firm. No details regarding the terms of the agreement were provided.
