Tomlinson’s sites up for sale but where’s the milk

PWC as administrators for Tomlinson’s of Wrexham are attempting to close bids for up to three Tomlinson sites in less than a week. 

All of Tomlinson’s direct suppliers have fled to various parts of the country in a bid to find a new home and the Sainsbury’s suppliers have all been given Muller contracts as have the M & S producers.  So it’s a liquid business for sale without any milk.

It’s a mystery why the business didn’t continue to run under the administrator in a bid to maximise the value or why attempts to sell earlier as a going concern didn’t happen.  A liquid processing facility with no milk will be difficult if not near impossible to achieve anything more than salvage value on.
