RCapital acquires Westler Food Limited

The company manufactures canned and pouched food products for the retail and food service sectors and was founded in 1960. Although Westler was a profitable business when it entered administration, the company has experienced difficulties due to its defined benefit pension fund deficit of £15m.

RCapital will continue to run the operations with CEO Ian Connell and the deal secures the future of the Westler brands and existing staff.
