Spayne Lindsay advises on the sale of Rollover Holdings Limited (“Rollover”) to Kerry Holdings (UK) Limited (“Kerry”)

Spayne Lindsay is pleased to announce that it has advised on the sale of Rollover to Kerry for an undisclosed consideration.

Established in 1992, Rollover is the UK’s leading food-to-go hot dog brand served in over 3,000 UK locations including stadia and arenas, zoos, leisure attractions, holiday parks, cinemas, pubs, restaurants and convenience retail outlets. Rollover offers customers a range of products and point-of-sale equipment supported by end-to-end customer service.

Chris Curry, Managing Partner at Piper Private Equity, which acquired a majority shareholding in Rollover as part of a buy-out in 2006, commented:

“We were delighted with the way Spayne Lindsay managed the process.  The Spayne Lindsay team were quick to understand Rollover’s unique business model and how to position it to appeal to a wide variety of potential purchasers.  Utilising their extensive consumer industry network, Spayne Lindsay worked hard to find a trade buyer with strategic synergies and delivered a great result for all shareholders.  We look forward to working with Spayne Lindsay again in the future.”
