2 Sisters Food Group sells joint venture to Boparan Private Office
Hook2Sisters, which was founded in 2006 with a 50% ownership split between 2 Sisters Food Group and PD Hook, has been wholly acquired by the vehicle of 'Chicken King' Ranjit Singh Boparan. 2 Sisters Food Group is owned by the Boparan family.
Hook2Sisters operates more than 170 farms in the UK and employs around 1,000 people. In the year to the end of July 2024, the company generated sales of £964.2m ($1.31bn) and a profit before tax of £786,000.
The transaction will see both companies sell their shares in Hook2Sisters to the newly created 2 Agriculture Holdings Ltd, part of the BPO.
All employees at the affected breeding and rearing sites and hatcheries will be transferred to 2 Agriculture Breeding Ltd with no changes to the terms and conditions of their employment, a 2 Sisters statement announcing the deal read.
Mr Boparan described the deal as a 'significant transaction' that would 'establish a fully integrated agricultural supply chain that enhances quality and welfare standards for the sector".
While the value of the deal has not been disclosed, a 2 Sisters Food Group spokesperson said it would be 'at least £1m'.
The spokesperson added: 'The joint venture didn't have an ultimate controlling party and Ranjit Singh was very keen on going from a 50/50 partnership to a full ownership model.
'He has control over all those farms and, in addition, even bought some breeding farms and hatcheries from PD Hook. He has full control of the supply chain now.'

Florian Wirtz bats away price-tag questions following Anfield debut
Liverpool's marquee summer signing Florian Wirtz has insisted that his record-breaking price tag will not affect his performances as he prepares for his debut Premier League season. The 22-year-old German attacking midfielder could become the most expensive player in British football history, with the total cost of his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen potentially rising to £116 million if all add-ons are triggered. Despite the scrutiny that comes with such a fee, Wirtz remains calm and focused. Speaking to reporters after Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Athletic Club, the former Bundesliga star made it clear that the financial side of the move is not something that concerns him. 'I just want to play football and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter,' said Wirtz. 'I came because I thought I could fit in this team and I am enjoying staying with these players. I am a player who needs freedom on the pitch and the manager gives it to me.' Wirtz also spoke about his role in the team and how he hopes to contribute in the final third, adding: 'I will try to find the right places to be and the right spaces to get on the ball and to be dangerous and create chances.' Having spent his entire professional career in Germany until now, Wirtz admitted that moving to England has been a significant step, but one he is embracing. He praised the support of his new team-mates, many of whom are also recent arrivals, saying that having others to share the transition with has made settling in easier. 'They tell me it's more intense and more physical and that every player is really strong, really fast,' he said of the Premier League. 'I am really looking forward to play there and experience some differences to Germany, but I think there is also something I can learn that will make me better.' Wirtz added that he is already looking ahead to the team's title defence, knowing the difficulty of repeating such success. 'The big challenge is to win the title again and it is the most difficult thing to do,' he said. 'I will just try to create chances and work hard off the ball and run a lot to help make the team better.' As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Wirtz to see whether he can match the hype and deliver in one of the world's most competitive leagues. If his attitude and early performances are any indication, Liverpool fans may have good reason to be optimistic. 📸 Carl Recine - 2025 Getty Images

Liverpool get big Alexander Isak deal boost
There has been a DRAMATIC update in Liverpool's chase for Alexander Isak. On Tuesday the Newcastle forward took the unprecedented step of releasing a public statement over his current situation. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Isak, 25, claims promises have been broken by the Geordies and his current stance is that he will not play for the club again. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Liverpool tested Newcastle's resolve a few weeks back - offering a British record fee for the Swede - but the North East side were in no mood for negotiations. Newcastle make hefty Isak demands Despite Isak effectively being on strike it looks like the Magpies currently have no plans to sell him. Unless their demands are met - and more significantly unless they get two players into their strike line - then Liverpool could well be frustrated. Isak signed for Newcastle from Real Sociedad back in 2022 for a fee of £63m - agreeing a six-year contract - but relations with the club are at an all-time low. However, he will not be leaving for anyone else other than Liverpool. That's according to a new report in Caught Offside - which also reveals that Newcastle would deal at £147m. Isak is pushing hard for Liverpool 'Figures close to the situation described Isak as 'pushing hard' to get his dream transfer to LFC, who remain in 'pole position' to capitalise on this dire situation with Newcastle,' the report reads. 'So far, the Premier League champions have had a £110m bid rejected by NUFC, who are adamant that their asking price of around £147m must be met.' There have been links with Al-Hilal - and more outlandishly with Real Madrid - but it appears Isak has got eyes only for the Premier League champions. © IMAGO - Alexander Isak Liverpool

Army spends £118m on more systems to shoot down missiles and drones
The Army has bought more air defence missile systems with the capability to shoot down cruise missiles and drones, the Ministry of Defence has said. The £118 million move will double the number of British-made Land Ceptor systems available to the British Army. It said they could be deployed both in the UK and overseas. The new equipment will form part of Sky Sabre, a state-of-the-art defence system that can intercept munitions and aircraft. It replaced the previous Rapier system, which had run since the 1970s. The MRAD (medium range air defence) system will be made by manufacturer MBDA in Bolton. The Government said 140 jobs will be supported by the move. Defence minister Luke Pollard said: 'We are delivering on the strategic defence review by equipping our armed forces with state-of-the art equipment to help keep us safe. Doubling our deployable Sky Sabre capability will strengthen the UK's air defences, protect UK forces abroad, and deter our adversaries. 'Through this investment we are supporting over 100 jobs across the UK, with more to come.' The Land Ceptor systems are able to hit a tennis-ball sized object which is travelling at twice the speed of sound. The Sky Sabre operation can control 24 missiles at one time. As part of the system, the Land Ceptors operate alongside radar and a wider command and control centre. However, they are also able to be used on their own. Sky Sabre was recently tested as part of a Nato exercise in the Outer Hebrides, the Ministry of Defence said. It has already been deployed in Poland, as part of Nato operations with on eye on Russia. Commanding Officer of the 16th Regiment Royal Artillery, Lt Col James Boutle, said: 'Sky Sabre represents a step change in the UK's ground-based air defence capability. 'As the Army's most advanced air defence system, it provides a powerful shield against modern airborne threats, from fast jets to precision-guided weapons and drones. 'For 16th Regiment Royal Artillery, operating Sky Sabre is both a privilege and a responsibility – ensuring we are trained and ready to strengthen the UK's contribution to Nato when called upon. 'As part of this, we work hand-in-hand with industry partners, such as MBDA here in the UK, to continuously optimise the system to ensure it remains on the cutting edge – a collaboration that guarantees we stay ahead of adversary technology.'
