Established in 2005, this is a family-run bakery specialising in freshly baked breads and sweet treats, with products distributed to customers worldwide. They hold the distinction of being the first producer of Mediterranean flatbreads in Ireland, and have since expanded their range to include naan breads, confectionery, and gluten-free products.
The company places a strong emphasis on quality and food safety, having achieved globally recognised BRC certification in 2009. At the peak of the business, there were more than 100 local employees. Every product is crafted with care using authentic recipes, reflecting the values of a family business and the products are stocked and distributed nationwide across different major retailers and independent stores.
The organic demand is driven in frozen variants which has longer shelf life. Stocked volume quantities have been growing siginfiicantly across major European markets on account of high fibre content and strong macro components across major manufactured products.

The business holds the distinction of being the first producer of Mediterranean flatbreads in Ireland and remains the only bakery in the UK and Ireland to have successfully scaled traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern baking techniques to a commercial level. This unique capability has enabled the company to supply some of the most demanding customers in the foodservice sector, including Leading Global Airlines, for whom the Mini Bread range was specifically developed.
The product portfolio has expanded significantly over the years and now includes Tannour Wraps, Hand-Shaped Naan Bread, Golden Flatbreads, Sourdough Flatbread Pockets, and Pitta Breads, all produced using authentic recipes and traditional methods. All products are frozen within one hour of baking to preserve freshness and quality.
Business Operation
- Expansion Potential:
-
The business operates in a rapidly expanding market, with the UK Out of Home food sector valued at £68 billion and growing. Consumer demand for authentic, high-quality bakery products continues to rise, with naan and flatbread volumes up 7.8 million packs year-on-year in retail alone.
As the only BRC-certified, scaled producer of traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern breads in the UK and Ireland, the business is uniquely positioned to capitalise on this demand. An internal market analysis identifies an addressable annual opportunity of approximately 7.9 million wraps across key foodservice channels in the UK alone, spanning Middle Eastern restaurants, kebab and gyros outlets, chicken quick service restaurants, and sandwich-based operators.
The current product range, combined with the capacity of a 24/7 operating facility, provides a strong platform for accelerated growth through new customer acquisition, broader foodservice distribution, and further penetration of existing channels. There is also clear scope to develop the retail offering, building on already proven consumer appetite for the category.
With an established international presence, a differentiated and hard-to-replicate product offering, and a growing market tailwind behind it, the business represents a compelling investment opportunity with significant upside potential under new ownership.
- Competition / Market:
-
The primary comparable competitor in the UK market has broadened considerably into mainstream retail, innovation-led consumer products, and private label. This positions the subject business as a highly differentiated alternative, with its singular focus on authenticity, traditional techniques, and the foodservice sector providing a compelling and largely uncontested niche. Notably, the subject business remains the only BRC-certified producer capable of scaling genuine Mediterranean and Middle Eastern bread production in Ireland, serving a customer base that demands authenticity above all else.
The subject brand has created own identity rather than play the volume game through white labelling the common product across multiple retailers.
