Food Strategy Associates are pleased to have provided sell-side operational due diligence to Dalziel on its successful acquisition by Peak Rock Capital. Our work covered Dalziel’s full operational footprint across its four manufacturing sites and 16 distribution depots, spanning production capacity and utilisation, supply chain and distribution performance, quality and food safety, and business systems, alongside the operational value creation available to a new owner. The aim was a clear, credible view of how the business runs today and where it can scale.
Dalziel is a leading UK savoury solutions provider, family-owned and founded in 1926, supplying ingredients, coatings, fillings and culinary essentials across both sundries and meats. Headquartered in Bellshill, Scotland, the business operates four manufacturing sites and 16 distribution depots nationwide, serving retail butchers alongside industrial and B2B food customers.
Peak Rock Capital is a leading middle-market private investment firm, headquartered in Austin, Texas, with an office in London and a number of investments in the food and beverage industry.
Stuart Dalziel, CEO of Dalziel, shared:
“FSA were a genuine pleasure to work with. They quickly understood our manufacturing and distribution operation, and told the story with great depth, accurately and credibly. Their real-world food experience made them pragmatic and easy to deal with, and meant they were consistently respectful of management’s time during a very busy period. A trusted partner who added real value throughout.”
Congratulations to the Dalziel and Peak Rock Capital teams on an exciting milestone!
This transaction builds upon Food Strategy Associates status as the leading provider of due diligence on European food and beverage transactions.
