Business advisory and restructuring experts Kroll added: “The family run business has been handcrafting award winning cheeses in the UK for more than 80 years. It supplies produce to both retail and wholesale, as well as exporting to over 30 countries worldwide.
As recently as August 12 the company was posting on Facebook about its award winning probiotic Cheddar and it had taken a stand at the recent Clitheroe Food Festival. Singletons Dairy was established in 1934 by Dullia and Robert Singleton but the family’s connection with cheesemaking goes back to the 18th century.
