Roberts Bakery's parent company, Frank Roberts & Sons Limited, has been acquired by Boparan Private Office, a private investment enterprise owned by entrepreneur Ranjit Singh Boparan.
The investment has resulted in the creation of a new company, Roberts Bakery 1887 Ltd, securing 433 jobs at the historic bakery business.
This news comes after Roberts Bakery announced it was preparing to enter administration earlier this month, following plans to close its site in Ilkeston and other restructuring announcements that put hundreds of jobs at risk.
No comment from the entrepreneur or the companies involved was provided.
