New owners' of Lloyd Maunder plan to expand the operation

SOUTH West poultry firm Lloyd Maunder has been sold to the 2 Sisters Food Group. 

Lloyd Maunder, based at Willand in mid-Devon, claims to have pioneered the production of poultry for the retail market 50 years ago and is now reckoned to be the UK's leading producer of specialist poultry, retailed in supermarkets nationwide.   

West Midlands-based 2 Sisters Food Group is a leading European food company supplying chicken products to the retail, food service and food manufacturing sectors.

It has annual sales of more than half a billion pounds and 4,500 staff employed across 12 sites in the UK, plus operations in Holland and the USA. 

The 2 Sisters Food Group has purchased Lloyd Maunder for an undisclosed sum, with plans to expand the business.

“We're planning to develop the operation further as a regional centre of excellence for specialist poultry production,” said Ranjit Singh, founder and CEO of 2 Sisters Food Group 

Current directors Peter, Andrew and Richard Maunder are all remaining with the company.
